del. Etched by Rowlandson. Published by R. Ackermann, 101 Strand.--A
venerable and somewhat decrepit spouse has been for a 'constitutional.'
On his return he is gratified with the discovery of a very interesting
domestic tableau: his young and pretty wife is fast asleep on the
knee of a dashing officer, who, seated on the family sofa, is also
slumbering blissfully, with one arm round the waist of the faithless
wife, while his hand is clasping that of the lady, one of whose arms
tenderly encircles the neck of her martial admirer. The rash intruder
on this scene, with good reason, is much shocked at the situation, and
is exclaiming in dismay, 'My wife! as sure as I am a haberdasher.'
