During Gulliver’s stay on Lilliput, a fire broke out in the Imperial Palace, in the Empresses' apartment. Gulliver put the fire out by urinating on it. Here we see the Empress and two of her maids looking out of a large palace window after the fire. The Empress is in the centre and can be distinguished from her maid and lady-in-waiting by her headpiece and clothing. The maid is on the left and the lady-in-waiting is on the right. Although the fire was in the Empress’s apartments, she chose not to return to those apartments after they had been refurbished given the manner in which Gulliver extinguished the fire.

The author explains that there were ten paths for women to follow in the Inca Empire based on age division. This first group of women were called auacoc huarmi [weaver woman]. These women were the wives of warrior’s and were thirty-three years old when they married their warrior husbands. Their duties were to weave garments for the Inca, captains and soldiers. The woman in this image is depicted kneeling while weaving from a loom which appears to be strapped around her back. The caption on the image reads de edad de treynta y tres años, muger de tributo which translates to thirty-three years old, woman tribute.
Astonished by the concept of clothing, Gulliver’s master examines both his clothes and his body. His Master noted that Gulliver’s body was different from that of the yahoos, in colour, softness and smoothness of the skin, and lack of hair, saying he must be a perfect yahoo. This reflects the European prejudice against Native Americans. Gulliver explained to his master why Europeans wear clothing, both for decency and for protection against the elements. His master questioned why someone would want to hide what nature had given them, as the Houyhnhnms were not ashamed of their bodies. Nevertheless, his master told Gulliver to do as he wished. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

This reunion occurs at the end of the play, after Chimene has revealed that she still loves Rodrigue despite the fact that he killed her father in a duel at the beginning of the play.
