"Dr. Slop, short and fat, seated in an arm-chair (centre) holding in his left hand the book containing the form of excommunication, points with his right at Obadiah who is disappearing (left), one leg and his back alone being visible. A handkerchief hangs over the doctor's cut right thumb. Behind him on the left stands Mr. Shandy, in dressing-gown and night-cap, smoking a long pipe, he is frowning and holds out his left hand in protest at the doctor's curses. Uncle Toby, his crutch under his left arm, stands on the right. pointing with his left hand at a map of Flanders which hangs on the wall over Dr. Slop's head. He turns to speak to Corporal Trim, who stands (right) at attention in profile to the left holding a long broom."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
