A plump woman sits in an armchair at center, holding a fan. She is seated between her husband and a servant. The servant says, "An please you Master and Mississ, The Sailor Man has sent word as how the Wessel is ready to swim." The husband says, "Why my Dove—I am loaded with provisions like a tilt cart on a fair day, and my pockets stick out as if I was just return'd from a City Feast." His wife replies, "Dont be so Wulgar Mr Dripping—you are now among gentill folks, and must behave yourself—we shall want all the Wickalls on the Woyage depend upon it—bless me how Varm it is, I am all over in a muck."
