One day he left his hose for a quiet little chat with a fair creature who lived in a doctor's establishment in the district where he plied his daily cleansings. The doctor had gone out and so had the doctor's wife, so this was a fine opportunity for a little spooning. While Pat was thus engaged, some street urchins began taking liberties with the street hose, much to the consternation of passers-by. Pat dashed up on the scene and they turned the hose on him, whereat he beat a hasty retreat to his girl's house. Nora procured a dressing gown and put his breeches before the fireplace to dry. Meanwhile, the doctor returned and threw his overcoat over the chair on which Pat's breeches reposed, Pat hiding behind the screen. Back to their spooning went Pat and Nora, only to be disturbed again by the home-coming of the doctor's wife. She took her hubby's coat from before the fire and inadvertently, Pat's breeches were carried away by her into the doctor's room. Pat was in consternation, but Nora sneaked her hand through the curtains and brought forth the doctor's trousers. Before the exchange could be made, the doctor was aroused by a hurry call, and the room being dark be put on the white ducks of the Irish street cleaner and sauntered forth. Arriving at his destination he found his patient in the final throes of dissolution, but one look at the doctor's white ducks which were halfway to his knees sent her into a fit of laughter. Discovering his ridiculous appearance he dashed away through the streets like a wild man towards home. Pat, in the meantime, had put on the doctor's trousers and, when the latter arrived, raving and wild, with drawn revolver, he shot at the man who dared to destroy the sanctity of his home, but he only succeeded in shooting off Pat's official hat. Nora flung herself on her knees before the doctor to explain the peculiar aspect of the case, and all parties became hilariously humorous over the amusing situation.
