Five Of Pents Revisited
I've been thinking about this discussion and especially the tower behind the window. Looking at it, and considering the context of the card, it seems that only one conclusion can be drawn. The window points to the outside.
The two people represent an inner state. I can't recall who said it, but I remember reading a post that said they represent and "us against them attitude." I can see this. They're alone, destitute, out in the cold(they believe they are anyway). The window clearly shows (beyond their own narrow frame of reference) that they live in a world of abundance, light, and stability, but the are completely oblivious. Robert Place says this card reflects the outcome (or perhaps the cause of - ff) of the miserly attitude illustrated in the Four of Pents.
Where does the bell fit into this scheme? It could be a similar type of bell worn by the Jester, the Fool. It makes a lot of noise and draws plenty of attention, but behind all the noise their's no substance, just noise.
