The fat Mrs. Schwellenberg leans over the back of the Queen\'s chair, looking at the \'child\' with a greedy stare. The Queen says, "Bless me, dear Swellingbags, what divine harmony there is in that lovely Toy! Do, my pretty dear, make an exchange." Schwewellenberg says, "Tell her there is a monstrous fine Diamond in every Bell. And I have another in Germany I\'ll give her to boot." The \'child\', holding her precious toy away from the Queen, answers, "Catch me at that if you can! an exchange indeed! no, no, tho\' a Child I\'m no Chicken!" 10 February 1791 Hand-coloured etching ); English, out of copyright.
