According to La Fontaine's popular tale, the master seduced a serving girl and was observed by a neighbor, who is shown here at her window at the upper right. He therefore invited his wife into the garden to engage in dalliance. Later, when the neighbor reported on his behavior, his wife observed that it was she whom her friend observed in the garden. "[Then] excuse me, and do not send [the girl] away," responded the neighbor, to which the wife replied, "Why send her away? She serves me well."
