Delirium tremens and a Rat Haunted Scene Described
A chaotic night tale recounts Charley succumbing to delirium tremens amid uproar and a mocked rat apparition. Friends mistake the scene, a doctor is sought, and the victim denies seeing any rat while others insist. The piece blends a drinking episode with a Dutch mirror anecdote about voyeuristic windows and social commentary.
