Depiction [At Home and Abroad]: Interior scene. Room with servant carrying a warming-pan. A lady, of the developed "fat, fair and forty" order, is preparing to go to bed. The partner of her joys, who is more youthful, has dropped his pipe and is sipping a bumper of wine, but although evidently sleepy, he seems disinclined to follow the lady's example of retiring to rest.
