The footman leans forward to shout into the elderly woman's ear trumpet, "Please your ladyship all these gentlemen be[?] come about an advartisement [sic] for a husband and to lose no time they have brought the Parson with them; please your Virginship what am I to say to em?" The elderly woman responds, "Say to them, why the men are mad, if I was so inclined do they think I would marry six husbands at once!!"

Abstract:
In an elegant room, ten elderly getlemen with caricatured faces and in various stages of decrepitude are seated in a semi-circle talking to one another. The gentleman in the center has his gouty foot supported on a small stool. In the background, three pictures in ornate frames hang on the wall. The one in the center shows infant Bacchus in his car driven by Cupid; Bacchus holds a glass in one hand and his thyrsus in the other. Cupid's bow and arrows are crushed under the wheels. The picture on the left shows a fox looking up at grapes hanging from a tree and on the right is a picture of the fox with a cropped tail, both allusions probable to Fables of Jean de la Fontaines
