A Howard Watch Wanted.
Mrs. Fidget—"There,
Mr. Fidget, I told you how it would be!—We have
missed the Train.—Now, I hope you are satisfied!"
Mr. Fidget,—"But, my dear, it lacks five minutes
of the hour by my watch."
Mrs. Fidget,—"By
your, fiddle-de-dee, stuff and nonsense. A trumpery, foreign affair, that is
never correct. Why don't you get a good "HOWARD WATCH",
Mr Fidget, and then we shall know what we are about?"
(N.B.—Mr. F. resolves that he will take Mrs. F's advice.)

the background is a departing train, a clock bearing an advertisement for E.
Howard & Co., and a man fumbling with luggage. In the foreground one
couple, the Fidgets, are fighting, as an older man and young boy observe with
interest. Mrs. Fidget is holding the hand of a crying child and Mr. Fidget is
grimacing and holding his watch.]
