Synopsis: Philip Bliss writes a novel in which one of the central characters, Brown, is carrying on with two women. He gives Brown characteristics which, while plausible enough, don't belong to anyone he knows. He is therefore very surprised to be sued for libel by a man named Brown who matches the novel character in every detail.
