He purchases a monocle, and in the privacy of his own room attempts in vain to make the wretched thing stick in his eye. At length he glues it in and then sets out to attend a ball. There he has the misfortune to tread on the train of a lady's skirt, and strip it entirely off. When tea is handed around, he mistakes a gentleman's bald pate for a marble pedestal, and rests his cup on it. The old gentleman thinks it is a fly on his head, and brushes the cup and saucer to the ground. Not perceiving his mistake, James adds sugar and milk to where he thinks the cup is, with the most ludicrous results. After a number of other unpleasant mistakes, including the last, where he enters a lady's bedroom in mistake for his own, James reaches home, and having, with the aid of hot water, removed the piece of glass from his eye, swears never again to be led into making such a fool of himself.
