"A young woman sits despairingly on the edge of a bed, with the end of a garter round her neck; the other end dangles from the bed-tester. It is inscribed 'Tis expected every' and (round her neck) 'will do his duty'. She watches a servant holding a foppish and elderly naval officer, while he flourishes a cudgel.
