Description: Mrs. Tinker, Sir Pitt Crawley, and Rebecca Sharp stand around a small round table in front of the fireplace in the dining room. Mrs. Tinker has just brought Sir Pitt’s pipe, which she holds, and a paper of tobacco, which is on the table. Sir Pitt has grabbed hold of Miss Sharp’s hand and is leering at her, while she is turned mostly away from the other two and glaring back in their direction.
