Outside the Maidenhead Inn a crowd of travelers pile into an already overcrowded coach. Two large women push an obese man up the ladder into the carriage which is already filled to capacity; the passengers inside cry out with distress at the sight of the man being pushed inside. Two couples who have climbed on top of the carriage embrace as do other couples surrounding the carriage, waiting to board. The inn's sign advertises "Entertainment f[or] man and horse".
