A young couple kiss inside the cab of an elegant carriage pulled by two pair of horses driven with whips by two riders; another rider follows along behind the carriage. On the road beside the carriage, a pig escapes pursuit as the rider topples from his horse, losing the wig in the process. In the left in the distance the town they have fled can be seen on a a hill. In the right foreground the milestone lies on its side and reads "XXX miles from London".
