Mrs. Clarke runs with arms extended towards the Quaker at right declaring, "Stop my Darling and go along with me." The Quaker walks away from her, clasping his gloves to his chest and remarking, "Woman avaunt, I am not to be tempted, and be it known also I am a married man, therefore what little business I do in thy way it is not worth dividing."
