Two men drink togetherin a neat parl;our, a decanter and plate of nuts on a small round table between them,. On the left the dandy holds up a nut , he wears very full trousers tightly strapped, the man to the right wears riding breeches and top-boots. The words of their conversation are in the lower margin either side of the main title.

What would this Nut say if it coulsd Speak ?
