Having been released from Bridewell Prison, the harlot is shown in a squalid bed-chamber, wrapped in a long sheet and seated in a chair by the fire, her head resting against a pillow in a swoon. Her dismayed attendant turns for help from the two doctors who are quarreling about the benefit of their nostrums, the one standing in anger, in the process turning over a table and chair. A second attendant is rummaging through the harlot's trunk on the right.
