When evening arrives, Celestina, Elicia, and Areusa wait for Pármeno and Sempronio to join them for dinner. They arrive late, which leaves Elicia and Areusa frustrated. To make matters worse, Sempronio praises Melibea’s beauty and virtue, causing his lover Elicia to become jealous and infuriated.

Lucrecia knocks at the door (seen to the right), and she tells Celestina that Melibea wants her girdle returned.

Thus, Lucrecia and Celestina depart for Melibea’s house.Every female figure in this image is depicted wearing a robe and a veil. Sempronio and Pármeno are depicted wearing hats. Celestina is seen holding a jug of wine in her right hand, while in her left she is holding a chalice/goblet.
In this image Lucy Steele plays with Lady Middleton’s children. The children could be mischievous and while Elinor found it tiresome, but Lucy enjoyed their attention. Lady Middleton here continues with her work, rather than disciplining her children. One child plays with Lucy’s hair, while another looks through Lady Middleton's purse. This scene occurs in chapter 21. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Lucy and Lady Middleton wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.

The women who accused Claudia Quinta of being unchaste are standing behind her in the image as they watch her pull the ship to shore. The statue of the goddess is illustrated on the ship.
