Getting ready for the boarders.
A woman sits at a dining table, using a chisel and axe to cut the food in front of her while a scrawny cat watches from the floor. Sign on the wall in the background reads "We try to please at as little expence as possible."; Text beneath title: Preparing for the boarders!--Poor victims, what a feast / Will confront them when the sun displays his features in the east; / With what grim determination they will have to face their meal, / And how they will be longing that their jaws were made of steel!
