Output (English): Charlie Samson Murray is a hardworking married bookkeeper, struggling to advance himself by attending night school to become an accountant. He and four coworkers throw a bachelor party for a fellow bookkeeper, Arnold Craig Philip Abbott, who is about to get married. After the party, they decide to go barhopping. Charlie is to be Arnolds best man. Colleagues attending the party include the older married man, Walter Marshall, who has recently been diagnosed with asthma, and Eddie Warden, a happygolucky bachelor. The night becomes a turning point for all five men. Charlie finds his loyalty to his wife tested during the evening, and he almost has an affair with a young woman Jones he meets on the street heading to a Greenwich Village party. Walter, in despair about his situation, wanders off during the evening. Arnold becomes drunk and ambivalent about getting married, and he breaks off the wedding only to change his mind after he sobers up and Charlie gives him a lecture about the benefits of married life. This, in spite of the fact that in the beginning of the story, Charlie had been regretting his marriage and had gone to the party with a serious intention of committing adultery. We last see Eddie at a bar, striking up a conversation with an older unattractive woman. In the end, Charlie decides that married life is the way to go, and that his struggle to build a home with his wife is worthwhile, and better than the empty and lonely existence of his friend Eddie, whom he used to envy.
