Puss in Boots or General Junot Taken by Surprise
A woman, girding up the skirts of her dress, has dressed up in the cocked hat, boots, and sword-belt of General Junot, and joyfully marches beside his bed, brandishing his sword in her right hand, while she looks over her shoulder at the general. Junot sits up in bed at right and looks at her angrily.
