| Description |
The counter jumper sits at desk and writes in a ledger. Ledgers marked "Cash" and "day" are on a shelf above his desk, and
some of the letters face the wrong direction. The sender mocks the recipient's inflated sense of self-worth as a ladies' man.

| Notes |
Text: Behind the counter, like an ape, / You grin and measure off your tape, / And put on winning ways, / While the ladies
laugh aside, / At your folly and your pride, / And scorn your silly praise. / You think that every lady is inclin'd / To take
you for her Valentine.
