Summary:
A grossly obese bishop, almost spherical, walks with a lean parson, right to left, and slightly towards the spectator. Both wear hat, gown, and bands. Their features are not dissimilar in type, but one is gross, carbuncled, and surly, the other lean and melancholy. One has a ticket for a 'Turtle Dinner' tucked into his waistcoat, the other holds a large Bible in both hands.
