"Two ladies embrace, seated on a sofa, not noticing the entry of their husbands. One, Lady Strachan, says: "You know my dear Sarah I love you very well yet I must reserve a few Kisses for the worthy old Ad-l." Lady Warwick: "Oh never mind him, my Sweet Louisa he's undeserving your embrace's and only fit for walking the Quarter Deck." In the doorway is Sir Richard Strachan, in admiral's uniform, followed by Lord Warwick, indicated by a paper or pamphlet: 'Warwick Gude' [sic]."--British Museum online catalogue
