As
there
was
no
sign
of
Lupin
moving
at
nine
o'clock
,
I
knocked
at
his
door
,
and
said
we
usually
breakfasted
at
half-past
eight
,
and
asked
how
long
would
he
be
?
Lupin
replied
that
he
had
had
a
lively
time
of
it
,
first
with
the
train
shaking
the
house
all
night
,
and
then
with
the
sun
streaming
in
through
the
window
in
his
eyes
,
and
giving
him
a
cracking
headache
.
Carrie
came
up
and
asked
if
he
would
like
some
breakfast
sent
up
,
and
he
said
he
could
do
with
a
cup
of
tea
,
and
did
n't
want
anything
to
eat
.
152
Lupin
not
having
come
down
,
I
went
up
again
at
half-past
one
,
and
said
we
dined
at
two
;
he
said
he
"
would
be
there
.
"
He
never
came
down
till
a
quarter
to
three
.
I
said
:
"
We
have
not
seen
much
of
you
,
and
you
will
have
to
return
by
the
5.30
train
;
therefore
you
will
have
to
leave
in
an
hour
,
unless
you
go
by
the
midnight
mail
.
"
He
said
:
"
Look
here
,
Guv
'n
or
,
it
's
no
use
beating
about
the
bush
.
153
I
've
tendered
my
resignation
at
the
Bank
.
"

For
a
moment
I
could
not
speak
.
When
my
speech
came
again
,
I
said
:
"
How
dare
you
,
sir
?
How
dare
you
take
such
a
serious
step
without
consulting
me
?
Do
n't
answer
me
,
sir
!
--
you
will
sit
down
immediately
,
and
write
a
note
at
my
dictation
,
withdrawing
your
resignation
and
amply
apologising
for
your
thoughtlessness
.
"
155
Imagine
my
disMay
when
he
replied
with
a
loud
guffaw
:
"
It
's
no
use
.
If
you
want
the
good
old
truth
,
I
've
got
the
chuck
!

Mr.
Perkupp
has
given
me
leave
to
postpone
my
holiday
a
week
,
as
we
could
not
get
the
room
.
This
will
give
us
an
opportunity
of
trying
to
find
an
appointment
for
Willie
before
we
go
.
The
ambition
of
my
life
would
be
to
get
him
into
Mr.
Perkupp
's
firm
.

Although
it
is
a
serious
matter
having
our
boy
Lupin
on
our
hands
,
still
it
is
satisfactory
to
know
he
was
asked
to
resign
from
the
Bank
simply
because
"
he
took
no
interest
in
his
work
,
and
always
arrived
an
hour
(
sometimes
two
hours
)
late
.
"
We
can
all
start
off
on
Monday
to
Broadstairs
with
a
light
heart
.
This
will
take
my
mind
off
the
worry
of
the
last
few
days
,
which
have
been
wasted
over
a
useless
correspondence
with
the
manager
of
the
Bank
at
Oldham
.

Hurrah
!
at
Broadstairs
.
Very
nice
apartments
near
the
station
.
On
the
cliffs
they
would
have
been
double
the
price
.
The
landlady
had
a
nice
five
o'clock
dinner
and
tea
ready
,
which
we
all
enjoyed
,
though
Lupin
seemed
fastidious
because
there
happened
to
be
a
fly
in
the
butter
.
159
It
was
very
wet
in
the
evening
,
for
which
I
was
thankful
,
as
it
was
a
good
excuse
for
going
to
bed
early
.
Lupin
said
he
would
sit
up
and
read
a
bit
.

--
I
was
a
little
annoyed
to
find
Lupin
,
instead
of
reading
last
night
,
had
gone
to
a
common
sort
of
entertainment
,
given
at
the
Assembly
Rooms
.
I
expressed
my
opinion
that
such
performances
were
unworthy
of
respectable
patronage
;
but
he
replied
:
"
Oh
,
it
was
only
'
for
one
night
only
.
'
I
had
a
fit
of
the
blues
come
on
,
and
thought
I
would
go
to
see
Polly
Presswell
,
England
's
Particular
Spark
.
"
I
told
him
I
was
proud
to
say
I
had
never
heard
of
her
.
Carrie
said
:
"
Do
let
the
boy
alone
.
He
's
quite
old
enough
to
take
care
of
himself
,
and
wo
n't
forget
he
's
a
gentleman
.
Remember
,
you
were
young
once
yourself
.
"
Rained
all
day
hard
,
but
Lupin
would
go
out
.
