- Abstract:
- A dinner of mostly elderly men has dissolved into a brawl with wigs flying in every direction as they pummel each other with their fists or any tool at hand. In the center a man crawls on his hands and knees, blood pouring from both nostrils, his opponent ready to land him another blow. The one young man of the party dances merrily on top of the table flourishing a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other as the dinnerware scatters in every direction.

- Abstract:
- The interior of a bare and plainly furnished room in a country inn; a number of middle-aged and plainly dressed men stand waiting for dinner to be served. Through a door in the back wall a serving-boy enters with a tureen, followed by a stout woman carrying a turkey, who is followed by a man-servant. A man (left), wearing spurred jack-boots, stands in profile to the left to hang his hat on a peg. He faces a framed notice: 'Club Law". In the centre two men, one wearing top-boots, the other in quasi-military dress, face each other, grinning. A third tries to insinuate himself into the conversation. On the right a stout man stands at a table before a punch-bowl and a sugar-basin: his hands are folded and his eyes closed as if in prayer; between his legs sits a large cat. Beside and behind him a man with a bottle in one hand sniffs at another bottle. An irate man (left) stands at the end of the table, watch in hand. Above the door a picture of a mounted huntsman hangs askew. On the wall are (left) hats and sticks, (right) a map of the world in two hemispheres.
