An angry woman (l.), wearing a mob-cap and apron, threatens a man with a pair of scissors. The man, who is neatly dressed, wearing an ill-fitting wig and a small apron, may be a man-servant of rustic type. He trembles before his assailant. She says:
"You have spoil'd all the pipes in my yard,
You have you old thick headed Block,
And Sir, for your using me thus,
In revenge - I will cut off your nose." [The word 'nose' is in pen over an obliterated word.] ? 1803
