See No. 15573. Thomson flies into the air, tossed in a blanket, the corners of which are held by Mrs. Grey (left) and Henry Grey (right), who are in the foreground, and by John Grey, next his sister, and by Campbell, 'the Scribe', next to Grey. Grey, the principal aggressor, with his false smile, asks 'How do you like that "thou liar of the first \ "magnitude" [see No. 15584] "who would not say that this knave | "deserved tossing in a blanket". "It is time to tell \ "you, that fear of sin, and not fear of \ "you, deterred our acceptance of your | "ceaseless sumons to the field of strife \ "we shall now trundle thee without mercy'. Mr. Grey: 'Hah! hah! hah! do not spare him Harry punish him while he is in our power'. John Grey: 'Pull away my hearties with Morpeth'. Campbell: 'This is for "dealing out y or reckless calumnies" and for calling me to account'. Thomson protests (to Henry Grey): 'And is this the return you make for past favours such as getting you transplanted from a country parish to the town; ungrateful and treacherous wretch! "Every law of war, every principle of honour, every | "Sentiment of humanity every claim of justice and truth is over and over \ "Sacrifised by you to the gratification of your passion for contest, and thirst | "for revenge" "Under the mask of peace you delight in war"'. 'Brownie' sits cross-legged on the floor pointing up at the blanket: '"Ma conscience! there is a fine example of Christian forbearance and brotherly love. Thats what Anglicana calls a quartetto in the minor key, but I would call it. thorough base'.  1828
