One day Field came to Philadelphia to give a reading in Camden in conjunction with George W. Cable. It chanced that his friend, Francis Wilson, was opening that same evening in Philadelphia in a new comic opera which Field had not seen. He immediately refused to give his reading, and insisted upon going to the theatre. The combined efforts of his manager, Wilson, Mr. Cable, and his friends finally persuaded him to keep his engagement and join in a double-box party later at the theatre. To make sure that he would keep his lecture appointment, Bok decided to go to Camden with him. Field and Cable were to appear alternately.

白话
有一天菲尔德来费城,要和凯布尔在卡姆登一起朗诵。碰巧他朋友弗朗西斯·威尔逊当晚在费城首演一部新喜剧,菲尔德没看过,立刻拒绝朗诵,非要去剧院。经纪人、威尔逊、凯布尔和朋友们合力劝他,最后他勉强答应演出,之后再去剧院包厢聚会。为确保他履约,博克决定陪他去卡姆登。菲尔德和凯布尔轮流上场。这说明:面对诱惑时,人容易冲动放弃责任,需要外部监督和陪伴来保证执行;同时,朋友间互相妥协,找到折中方案(先演出后聚会)也能解决问题。可执行的是:重要任务前,主动安排监督或同行者,减少分心。
