          Summary
              Drawing shows a couple with their son and three guests seated at a dinner table; the husband and wife, seated at the head and foot of the table are both hugely obese; a guest seated next to their son is saying, "May Master Dicky be a greater man than his father", and another guest responds, "Do you hear that Dicky, may you be a bigger man than your father."
