Summary
Burke, a colossal figure, lunges forward and to the right, a dagger in each händ. Behind, the House of Commons is indicated, empty except for the Speaker (Addington) in the background, raising his arms in dismay, and Fox in the middle distance, who flees, looking over his shoulder to say, "D------me he's got the French Disorder." Burke frowns; a scroll issues from his fiercely closed lips: 'Plunderers Assassins Republicans Villians Cut Throats Levellers Regicides Lovers of Disorder Exporters of Treason & Rebellion These are Articles they Deal in.
