He has a very important social engagement and must keep it at any cost, never daring to let such a little thing as lumbago deter him. After going through all sorts of misery in dressing, he finally gets out on the street, where he hails a cab, and when he tries to enter, he is not physically capable of such a task, so the cabby is pressed into service and lifts, him bodily into the rig, where now he is unable to sit down. At one jolt of the cab he falls into the seat, and is compelled to remain there until, reaching his destination, the driver lifts him out and starts him on his merry way. Entering the reception room where all the guests are assembled, he tries his best to look pleasant and he is succeeding nobly until they ask him to have a seat. Not satisfied to sit down, he refuses, whereupon one of the other guests gives him a push and with, a terrible shriek he falls into the chair, nearly causing a panic among the fair ones. Finally his lady friend gets him into a cozy corner, and when he refuses to be seated she upbraids him and after giving him a rather cutting "call down" she leaves him and joins another man of a more charming disposition.
