A Fat Gentleman Challenges Jonah Over Dog Bite
A portly man, wounded in the calf by a dog, confronts Jonah claiming the dog is his. He prepares a defence arguing the dog’s good conduct, blindness, inability to bite, lack of teeth, and that the dog died six weeks earlier. The scene hints at a tavern or quay setting with lively crowd chatter.
