Two vicars sit at a table in a sitting room; a painting on the wall behind them is labelled "View of the vicarage". One of the men is very fat and wears a night cap; he dozes in an arm chair, his foot on a sleeping dog at his feet, the "Oxford Journal" on the floor having apparently dropped from his hand. The other, a thinner man, pours two generous glasses of port from a full carafe, and observes to his companion "What is life without the enjoyment of a friend".
