Our narrator has been advised to sleep well and avoid excitement as his blood pressure is high. Who should he bump into but Rusty Charley, who wants his company for a wild night on the town. Rusty Charley is a man who cannot be denied as he is known to take great offence (which he expresses most violently). Either way, our hero's health is at risk
