George Morland, sein Leben und seine Werke . E placebis nach seiner Befreiung. Es ist ganz im Einklang mit all dem, was wir von Morlandso wissen, dass er, während er die Regeln genießt, mehr Trinkgeldern sollte, als es für ihn gut war, und viel Zeit mit den Mitgefangenen verbringen sollte, die eifrig die profane Gastfreundschaft des reichsten Mannes in den Marshals Kosten.
