Abstract:
"A fat lady, much décolletée, whose hair is blazing, in her frantic gestures has overturned a chair; tea- and coffee-things lie on the ground. Screaming servants rush in from the right, headed by two footmen; one holds up a table-cloth to fling over her head, but is hampered by his companion, a negro, who flings the liquid contents of a (?) large flowerpot in her face, but stands on the cloth. A fat cook follows; a pretty young woman kneels on the ground throwing up her arms, a dog howls. Four older servants look through the doorway. Two candles, the cause of the disaster, blaze on the chimneypiece where a clock shows that it is 2.25."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The Queen (right) and Mrs. Wood, a stout virago and a lean one, fight, clutching each other's hair. The Queen's large feathered hat is on the floor. A curtain is draped on a pillar (right), and from behind a curtain on the left, Alderman Wood, wearing his furred gown, watches the fray, drooping apprehensively; he says: "He Jests at Scars who never felt a wound!" Mrs. Wood: "I'll teach you to play at Bergami with my Husband indeed--no--no I've read Jane Shore, & knows how things goes on in Courts, & Palace's, in Como's [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13857], Virgin's Waters, Cottages, Pavilions, Yachts, & such like. An Honest Citizen has no business in such bad place's & I'll Tear your Eyes out before you shall make a Bergami of him." The Queen shrieks: "Avaunt ye Termagant I'll stop the Tongue of Slander & Level to the Dust, the proudest Foe that dares suspect my Chastity I'd tear you limb from [sic] tho you be made of Wood." Behind, on a small chimney-piece, is a bust, perhaps that of Lady Craven."--British Museum online catalogue
