Abstract:

Bewildered Lord North is about to join his left hand which holds a ring, with the right paw of an obese fox facing him. Between them on the ground lies a book open to the pages inscribed "Marriage Ceremony." The ceremony is presided over by a happily grinning and winking devil standing behind the book and pushing North and Fox toward each other.
