A young woman and her mother are in a private bathroom. The young woman is standing naked, holding her dress in front of her, and looking at a hole in the window-blind behind which the shadow of a man in a top-hat can be seen peeping. Her agitated mother is in the bath-tub, about to pull a rope. On the floor is a crinoline petticoat, a red corset, and a pair of boots.
