A Belated Meal (1909)
John comes home on Saturday night with his week's salary, finding company awaiting him. After greetings have been exchanged, John's wife explains that there is nothing for dinner, so he starts out saying that he will return soon. He goes to his grocer, buys a chicken, some vegetables and groceries, and is on his way home when two friends waylay him and ask him to have a drink. They have several, and John starts homeward again, when he meets other friends who insist upon his drinking with them. He does not refuse, and by this time he is slightly under the weather, and staggers up the street with his companions. They part at the corner and John starts for home alone. The boys notice his condition, pelt him with snowballs and fasten his coat to the lamp-post. At home his wife and friends are getting hungry and wonder what is keeping John. They finally get desperate and start out to locate him. He is soon sighted, taken to the house, where wifey sobers him up with a good beating.
