Bats in the Belfry

In "Bats in the Belfry," a delightful short story by Harry Graham, the socially awkward Percy Biffin finds himself in a comedic predicament at the summer home of Sir Borwick Trout. Called upon in the middle of the night to remove a bat from the bedroom of the lovely Julia Trout, his well-meaning intentions are misconstrued by everyone who hears of the situation. As Biffin attempts to clarify his presence, the misunderstandings only escalate, leading to a humorous escalation in this charming Victorian farce.
