A man, at right, accosts a woman who is walking with a basket of eggs, and says, "My Love! you have a Sweet pair of Legs. I never saw such a pretty pair before. I'll swear they are Twins." She retorts, "No, no, Sir. Indeed you mistake. You do indeed. For I have had one, or two, between them."

The Mistake, Thomas Rowlandson (British, London 1757–1827 London), Hand-colored etching
