Strauss
came
over
and
took
my
arm
.
"

d
better
lie

while
.
You
ve
had
too
much
to
drink
.
"
"
Why

all
looking
at

like
that
?

did
I
say
wrong
?

I
heard
the
words
thick
in
my
mouth
,
as
if
my
face
had
been
shot
full
of
novocaine
.
I
was
drunk
completely
out
of
control
.
At
that
moment
,
almost
with
the
flick
of
a
switch
,
I
was
watching
the
scene
from
the
dining
room
doorway
,
and
I
could
see
myself
as
the
other
Charlie
there
near
the
sideboard
,
drink
in
hand
,
eyes
wide
and
frightened
.
"
I
always
try
to
do
the
right
things
.
My
mother
always
taught
me
to
be
nice
to
people
because
she
said
that
way
you
won
t
get
into
trouble
and
you
ll
always
have
lots
of
friends
.
"
I
could
see
by
the
way
he
was
twitching
and
writhing
that
he
had
to
get
to
the
bathroom
.
Oh
,
my
God
,
not
there
in
front
of
them
.
"
Excuse
me
,
please
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
got
to
go
.
.
.
"
Somehow
,
in
that
drunken
stupor
,
I
managed
to
turn
him
away
from
them
and
head
him
toward
the
bathroom
.
He
made
it
in
time
,
and
after
a
few
seconds
I
was
again
in
control
.
I
rested
my
cheek
against
the
wall
,
and
then
washed
my
face
with
cool
water
.
Still
groggy
,
but
I
knew
I
was
going
to
be
all
right
.

That
s
when
I
saw
Charlie
watching
me
from
the
mirror
behind
the
washbasin
.
I
don
t
know
how
I
knew
it
was
Charlie
and
not
me
.
Something
about
the
dull
,
ques
­
tioning
look
in
his
face
.
His
eyes
,
wide
and
frightened
,
as
if
at
one
word
from
me
he
would
turn
and
run
deep
into
the
dimension
of
the
mirrored
world
.
But
he
didn
t
run
.
He
just
stared
back
at
me
,
mouth
open
,
jaw
hanging
loosely
.
"
Hello
,
"
I
said
,
"
so
you
ve
finally
come
face
to
face
with
me
.
"
