A sour looking wife, her face covered in carbuncles, chastises her abject-looking husband for keeping her waiting. The wife sits before a clock which reads 8:30. Behind her chair is hidden a wine glass and a wine bottle labelled "Nants". She says: "Here have I been sitting up for you these four hours without anything to comfort me Mr. Fillpot. I will not suffer it." He responds: "Don't be angry, you beauty! I have only been drinking your health with Squir Guzzle 'pon honor."

Abstract:
"Two burly women, almost naked above the waist, fight vigorously, surrounded by a yelling crowd. The scene is an irregular space surrounded by old-fashioned houses, and crowded with spectators, eager or disgusted. In the foreground (left) an apple-woman's barrow is upset and she sprawls across it to grab the head of a little boy who is collecting apples. Among the crowd are a porter carrying a trunk on his knot, and a woman with a basket of vegetables on her head. Adjacent houses have inscriptions: 'British Gin', 'Licensed Lottery Office Tickets Shares', and (with the sign of three balls) 'Mony Lent on Pledges Gripp Licensed Pawn Brokers'."--British Museum online catalogue
