    Shows two young boys standing before their mother in a parlour. The mother cradles a young baby. One boy notes that this is 'the new baby the doctor has sent here to mama', and his brother replies: 'Yes. And don't it squeal? And I do say it's a great shame of the doctor to send babies when people are ill, like poor mama. I hate him!'.
