"A paunchy and bespectacled clergyman standing at left, reading nearsightedly from a paper on which are seen the words 'Petitioner will ever Pray', to a veteran soldier with a wooden left leg standing indignantly at right, who waves a stick in his right hand at the parson, and holds his tricorne in his left; their speech is above their heads.
