Original artwork, not a still
We are to have a tiny party here to-night. I hate tiny parties, they force one into constant exertion.

The speaker announces a tiny party tonight and immediately says they hate them, since small gatherings demand constant exertion. The dry complaint turns the usual fondness for intimacy upside down, treating a small company as work rather than comfort, with no room to relax.
