    Shows Dr Elisabeth Squills sitting at a dinner table where she looks at a copy of the Lancet and accepts a cup of tea poured by her husband. Near the table, children play on a harp and rocking-horse. The caption reveals that she is so busy that she 'has barely time to snatch a hurried meal and hasty peep at the periodicals of the day in her husband's boudoir'.
