- Depiction: The village Jack-of-all-Trades, a very imposing, grave and learned professor in appearance, is drawn in the exercise of one branch of his multifarious vocations. A stout wench has called in to have an obstinate grinder dragged out of her head "torment and torture" are mild terms for the operation. The patient is seated in the chair of agony. Factotum's assistant, a lad whose offices seem as diversified as those of his master, has brought an elegant pair of horse-pliers for the delicate process of extraction. A dog is setting up a sympathetic howl . . . . An old country dame who is also distracted with a raging molar is waiting without . . . .
