Abstract:: "The Knave of Clubs, 'Pam', sits in state in a ramshackle attic, one foot resting regally on a footstool. He is faint-hearted and melancholy and turns to a dapper little man (Sir Walter Stirling) at his right hand, who is supported by the Devil. He says: "I'm going to Hastings give me some Sterling No Tokens." Stirling, who holds an open book and is prompted by the Devil, says: "Let Us Pray," with a cynical smile. The Devil says: "Honestly if you Can?!!--but get Money." A hideous old woman, grotesque and ragged, offers him a glass, saying, "Try if Brandy won't save you." Behind the Devil, and on the extreme left, stands a burlesqued, knock-kneed lawyer, closing one eye in a cynical grimace; he holds a large pen and a paper headed 'The Last Will & Testement [sic] of Pam'. The room has the signs of squalor characteristic of the period: bricks showing through broken plaster, raftered roof, check bed-curtains, a broken chair, with broken jug and plate on the floor. Ragged stockings and a night-cap, &c. hang from a string across the fireplace (right), and on the mantelshelf are a candle in a bottle, a saucepan, medicine-bottle, teapot, and cup. Above it are a gallows broadside, and a print of a seated demon holding a small pair of scales."--British Museum online catalogue
