The Regent approaching Lady Hertford who is giving birth to fully dressed little men, Perceval (dressed as a nurse) helps them stand up; representing additions to the ministry after the removal of the Regency restrictions.

The Prince Regent bearing a steaming bowl to Lady Hertford says: "Come my good Lady take another sup and you will be able to bring forth some more", she replies: "Well I'll try! but I hope they won't have such thick heads as the last". Perceval is saying to the little men: "Now my little gentlemen stand up, and do as I bid you, here we go up up up", perhaps refering to Lady Hertford's recommendation of leniency to the Regent regarding government
