[ch-] Charlie Brown is [2] inside the sick hall of the [-(e)n] infirmary, surrounded by 臣 serfs. They, like Charlie Brown, have all been made 臣 feudal subjects in order to pay the debts from their sick bills. Charlie frowns at becoming a 臣 feudal subject just because he had a slight cough and got hit with a one million dollar bill.
