Oh dear me, well your mistress will do just the same. & She's out Sir. How provoking. Well, I'll set down by the fire till they come home. I'm sorry to tell you that that's gone out to." Upper right: A soldier is shot by a man (Turk?) hiding in the tall grass and pointing a rifle. Lower half, left: In a pulpit a bald minister with spectacles rants and he holds up a Bible in his left hand ready to throw it at the sleeping congregation below, " Ye sleepy crew if ye wont hear the owrd of God ye shall feel it."
