Keppler returning to the "PUCK Office" after a vacation in Europe, laden with a string of "Frankfurt" sausages, "Paris" wine, "Neuchâtel" cheese from "Austria", an umbrella labeled "London", and a large tankard labeled "Munich"; Puck rushes to greet him, and other staff crowd the office.

There is a cabinet at center, in the background, with bust models of William H. Vanderbilt, Benjamin F. Butler, George M. Robeson, James G. Blaine, Samuel J. Tilden, Carl Schurz, Ulysses S. Grant, Chester A. Arthur, James G. Bennett, and on a statue is a bust of Roscoe Conkling.

Childs, [and] London Punch".
