The aftermath includes a rude wedding crash, a caustic prank, and a public spectacle as the jilted lover recalls the uproar and aftermath. The piece weaves tall local color with salacious humor and a grim mockery of fortune.

The piece blends humor and domestic detail, ending with a signature from Tnos. Hixg.
