The thin, half-dressed man is scolded by his fat wife who has caught him in the garret bedroom with their young female servant. A bundle of his clothes in her arms, the servant scratches her head at the door. Pasted on the walls and ceilings of the room are several papers inscribed with dictums such as "Thou shalt not commit adultery", "God's warning for sinners", and "Once I lov'd." On the floor a book lies open to pages which read "Servants obey your Masters" and "Sermon to young women by Timy. Button Hole."

In a well furnished room a young, handsome curate is seated at one end of a sofa, surrounded by five admiring women of various ages, drinking tea and eating a biscuit. A little pug is begging for a treat. At the other end of the sofa, sits alone a very disconsolate young man, probably a veteran, with a wooden leg. His only companion is a large dog resting his head on his master's thigh. Between the soldier and the group on his left lies an open book, The Church triumphant - cedunt arma togae. Behind the sofa, a painting on the wall shows an old man being burned at stake by a group of soldiers
