Notes
Caption continues: Adventurous husband. "I'm off to the Crystal Palace; and, by the bye, I shall very likely go up in Mr. Glaishwell's balloon. But pray don't be in the least alarmed! There's no real danger!" Affectionate wife. "How nice! Shall you be home to dinner, love?" Disinterested mother-in-law. "Charming! But tell me, Richard, will it not invalidate your life assurance?"
