Abstract:
"A room in a Scottish inn: two travellers sit at a round breakfast-table; the man looks round in horror at a barelegged slattern who stoops to blow at a fire from which smoke pours; he says: "Sounds. we will be suffocated with dust & smoke". The girl says: "The Dee'l blaw this Fire w'e his Muckle A-se for ise na Fash mysel mair we't". Broken bellows and a shovelful of coal lie on the carpet. A barelegged fellow wearing a Scots cap pours water from a kettle over a tea-pot; the astonished lady exclaims: "Mercy on us look here my Dear the fellow is pouring hot Water on the top of the Tea Pot without taking the lid off & before he has brought Tea to put in it". The man says: "Feggs, you may skirll & Waloch as lang's ye like--there's nane O the House will put themsel's out o' their ain gude Auld Gaits". A savage-looking mongrel befouls the carpet and an 'Essay on Cleaness' [sic]. Through a doorway (the door broken from its hinges) is seen a woman (right) seated by a kitchen fire, a dram-bottle beside her, keys hanging from her waist. She says: "Aye, Aye. ring till ye're tired, I canna be Fash'd". Everything in both rooms denotes squalor but not poverty."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"The interior of a slatternly cottage. Three visitors, a well-dressed man in top-boots (Mr. Stewart), a comely woman (Mrs. Mason), and a fashionably dressed young girl (Mary Mason), stand before the fire surveying the disorder. The woman of the cottage (right) barefooted and brawny, sweeps the earth floor, looking over her shoulder at the lady, who asks: "Mistress Mclarty, why do you not make your Daughters assit [sic] you". She answers: "Indeed my Daughters can clean the House, or Milk the ky as wee'l as I can when they like but its no often that they will be Fashed". Two gawky shock-headed girls lounge with amused interest in the corner of the room (left). Two box-beds are on the right with household gear hanging over them, including twists of yarn, with a large cobweb against the wall. Small chickens peck at the contents of a large pot (a whey-pot) and plates on the floor. A cat laps from a bowl on a rough dresser above which plates and spoons are ranged. The doorway (left) gives immediately on to a pond in which ducks swim; beside it is a tall manure heap."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
