Brown Moves Into Town (1912)

When Brown moved to town an early misfortune befell him in his new home. He accidentally tore his pants by means of a nail that protruded from a packing box. His wardrobe being limited, he sought to borrow another pair of pants from a doctor who lived on the same floor. The doctor was a lady and sent Brown a photograph of herself, thus delicately hinting that she could not comply with Brown's request. However, she lent Brown a kimona, which Brown gallantly wore in public out of gratitude towards his fair benefactress. Now it happened that news of an escaped lunatic had got bruited abroad and Brown in his borrowed kimono was assumed to be the fugitive. His arrest and discomfiture, therefore, logically followed, and he was only removed from his predicament by the intervention of the kindly young lady doctor. Brown was also a doctor and from being partners in love they also became partners in business and the pleasing adventures ended with their joint names being placed outside their dwelling.
