    "Such a pleasure to see a contemplative pose of oneof my ancestors "

    "Time Smoking Art Do I care, says Time if it’s Mona Lisa or David? To use a polite term, and a novel one at that, I smoke on art You say in your naivety or pride of accomplishment your art is forever, for all time - well, tell me about it... I lay out dust on your works and I have agents to eat your stuff You may use varnish and restoration and conservation may come in handy but hey - I’ve got plenty of time to do my work Ah, you proud beauties and you arrogant, virile males: I’ll do the smoking; you enjoy the smoke in your faces"

    "Sarah Malcolm (1710-1733) I am Sarah Malcolm - yes, the one they call “the Irish Laundress” and the jury found me guilty of the murders (the Infamous Murderess) of Mrs Lydia Duncomb, Mrs Harrison and the servant Ann Price in Mrs Lydia’s chamber at the Inns of Court in the Temple; and imagine the jury only needed 15 minutes and there was disbelief when I admitted to robbery but not murder and there was disgust when I said the blood on my clothing was my own menstrual blood and not the blood of Ann Price: I had broken a taboo in talking of menstrual blood for, as they say, only ‘loose’ and not ‘virtuous’ women speak that way and of course even after the judgement I have been deemed even more guilty for I am “of a different Communion” of the Catholic faith, not Anglican - just as the Ordinary, James Guthrie described me in instructing me here at Newgate on the Christian faith; and I have earned the name now of many as the "evil, barbaric, and stubborn woman" And now Mr Hogarth sketches and paints that you might have a view of me; and the appointed date is 7 March 1733 when I will be executed... and these lines I add to the picture that you might remember me "
