Fearful quarrels, and brutal violence, are the natural consequences of the frequent use of the bottle.

The bottle is brought out for the first time. The husband induces his wife just to take a drop.

An execution sweeps off the greater part of their furniture: They comfort themselves with the bottle.

Unable to obtain employment, they are driven by poverty into the streets to beg and by this means they still supply the bottle.
