Not on view
Wardle stands at right in a bedroom addressing a crowd in the street below through an open window. Mrs. Clarke stands at left with her arms outstretched, pointing at Wardle, and declaring: "And Clarke said unto Felix. Thou art the Man— behold the Furniture! and Felix Trembled." Wardle says to the people: "Good People of the United Kingdom suspend your judgement for the present till I get this woman placed in the pillory—I never did any thing naughty with her no more than the child unborn—it was all for the good of my Country I assure you I am as firm a patriot as ever purchased a convex Mirror, or a red turkey Carpet"
