Description |
English: Eight pairs of people, arranged in two rows, misunderstand each other owing to mispronunciation, &c. 'I Suit'. A master tells a man-servant: "... you will not shoot me." '2 Heat.' A mistress tells her maid the soup is cold, and desires her to eat it directly. '3 Sue.' A man wearing tattered shoes says he will be "shoed". '4 Martyr.' A fat 'cit' tells a grenadier he has been "a Marcher to the cause". '5 Air.' A fat man tells a sporting friend he will "take the Hare". '6 Rise.' One man says "That it was - which gave Rise to it." The other answers ". . . Rice is a very good substitute" (i.e. for flour, cf. BMSat 9545, &c). '7 Chart.' A man desires a yokel to bring the "Cart" into the parlour. '8.' An elderly courtier tells his loutish footman to say he is "gone to Court". The man answers ". . . why the girls will laugh at you." Similar in character to BMSat 8541, &c, and perhaps belonging to the same set. c.1800

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
