At the door leading into a squalid room, a girl in a ragged shift asks her neighbor, "Please Mister Saveall, Father says will you lend him your bellis to blow our fire up, as he's broke our'n." He is also dressed in ragged, patched clothes and sits on an overturned, broken chair as he uses a bellows to fan the fire below a kettle in the fireplace. He turns back and says over his shoulder, "Tell your Father that I never makes a practice of lending my things out to any body, but if he likes to come here he may blow all day if he chooses."
