        Dinner at the Vroom's is always mutton. Dixon has taken to
enhancing the taste with ketjap. Cornelius refuses to allow his family
to use the condiment.  As with today's ketchup, Dixon has trouble
getting it out of the bottle. After dinner everyone goes out and sits on
the steps in front of the house.

        The youngsters are all taking of various places to sneak away to
and a young man wanders over and sings a song to the girls on the steps,
accompanying himself on a Fiji Islands guitar.

        The girls engage in battles of double entendre, similar to the
kind of banter to be heard in the brothels, which are all under the
control of Dutch East India Company.
