A country doctor enquiring how a farm worker has voted. Wood engraving by C. Keene, 1880.

'Country Doctor (as they came from church). "But now really, between ourselves, Mangles, how did you vote?" Rustic. "Well, sir, both parties they come and axed me, and I says to one, says I, yes, and I couldn't say no to t'other, so I takes my ballot card, goes into the box, shuts my eyes and makes a big cross, pops it in, and Lor' only knows 'ow I voted!"'
