At a Bar in Charlotte Amalie could easily have been just another set piece about a raffish gin mill in which just about every type turns up but the anonymous and unseen narrator. Actually, it is a tense little moral essay on true and false innocence, demonstrated in terms of a hat with dancing birds on it.
