Playing cards and dice spread on the table are partially covered by the "Plan for disarming the I__h V____rs" (Irish Volunteers). A large sack inscribed "Budget" lies on the floor. Behind North hangs an oval bust portrait of him dressed as a cleric and inscribed "Vicar of Bray." Behind Fox is a similar portrait of him with a rope on his neck inscribed "Sergius Cataline."
