Drawing depicts four young women rushing down a flight of stairs.

Verse that accompanies the drawing is written directly on the opposite page (folio 2, verso):

Dong, Dong, goes the deafning gong,
Fixing ties belts and collars we hurry along,
And down the long staircase hurridly flock,
Giving poor Mrs. Dodd a considerable shock,
For every morning we're always late,
For breakfast served at half past eight.
