After
some
species
of
wrangling
,
I
sat
on
Gowing
's
knees
and
Carrie
sat
on
the
edge
of
mine
.
Lupin
sat
on
the
edge
of
Carrie
's
lap
,
then
Cummings
on
Lupin
's
,
and
Mrs.
Cummings
on
her
husband
's
.
We
looked
very
ridiculous
,
and
laughed
a
good
deal
.
172
Gowing
then
said
:
"
Are
you
a
believer
in
the
Great
Mogul
?
"
We
had
to
answer
all
together
:
"
Yes
--
oh
,
yes
!
"
(
three
times
)
.
Gowing
said
:
"
So
am
I
,
"
and
suddenly
got
up
.
The
result
of
this
stupid
joke
was
that
we
all
fell
on
the
ground
,
and
poor
Carrie
banged
her
head
against
the
corner
of
the
fender
.
Mrs.
Cummings
put
some
vinegar
on
;
but
through
this
we
missed
the
last
train
,
and
had
to
drive
back
to
Broadstairs
,
which
cost
me
seven-and-sixpence
.

--
Home
sweet
Home
again
!
Carrie
bought
some
pretty
blue-wool
mats
to
stand
vases
on
.
Fripps
,
Janus
and
Co.
write
to
say
they
are
sorry
they
have
no
vacancy
among
their
staff
of
clerks
for
Lupin
.

--
I
bought
a
pair
of
stags
'
heads
made
of
plaster-of-Paris
and
coloured
brown
.
They
will
look
just
the
thing
for
our
little
hall
,
and
give
it
style
;
the
heads
are
excellent
imitations
.
Poolers
and
Smith
are
sorry
they
have
nothing
to
offer
Lupin
.

Simply
to
please
Lupin
,
and
make
things
cheerful
for
him
,
as
he
is
a
little
down
,
Carrie
invited
Mrs.
James
to
come
up
from
Sutton
and
spend
two
or
three
days
with
us
.
We
have
not
said
a
word
to
Lupin
,
but
mean
to
keep
it
as
a
surprise
.
176
August
25
.
--
Mrs.
James
,
of
Sutton
,
arrived
in
the
afternoon
,
bringing
with
her
an
enormous
bunch
of
wild
flowers
.
The
more
I
see
of
Mrs.
James
the
nicer
I
think
she
is
,
and
she
is
devoted
to
Carrie
.
She
went
into
Carrie
's
room
to
take
off
her
bonnet
,
and
remained
there
nearly
an
hour
talking
about
dress
.
Lupin
said
he
was
not
a
bit
surprised
at
Mrs.
James
'
visit
,
but
was
surprised
at
her
.

Sunday
.
--
Nearly
late
for
church
,
Mrs.
James
having
talked
considerably
about
what
to
wear
all
the
morning
.
Lupin
does
not
seem
to
get
on
very
well
with
Mrs.
James
.
I
am
afraid
we
shall
have
some
trouble
with
our
next-door
neighbours
who
came
in
last
Wednesday
.
Several
of
their
friends
,
who
drive
up
in
dog-carts
,
have
already
made
themselves
objectionable
.

An
evening
or
two
ago
I
had
put
on
a
white
waistcoat
for
coolness
,
and
while
walking
past
with
my
thumbs
in
my
waistcoat
pockets
(
a
habit
I
have
)
,
one
man
,
seated
in
the
cart
,
and
looking
like
an
American
,
commenced
singing
some
vulgar
nonsense
about
"
I
had
thirteen
dollars
in
my
waistcoat
pocket
.
"
I
fancied
it
was
meant
for
me
,
and
my
suspicions
were
confirmed
;
for
while
walking
round
the
garden
in
my
tall
hat
this
afternoon
,
a
"
throw-down
"
cracker
was
deliberately
aimed
at
my
hat
,
and
exploded
on
it
like
a
percussion
cap
.
I
turned
sharply
,
and
am
positive
I
saw
the
man
who
was
in
the
cart
retreating
from
one
of
the
bedroom
windows
.

--
Carrie
and
Mrs.
James
went
off
shopping
,
and
had
not
returned
when
I
came
back
from
the
office
.
Judging
from
the
subsequent
conversation
,
I
am
afraid
Mrs.
James
is
filling
Carrie
's
head
with
a
lot
of
nonsense
about
dress
.
I
walked
over
to
Gowing
's
and
asked
him
to
drop
in
to
supper
,
and
make
things
pleasant
.
180
Carrie
prepared
a
little
extemporised
supper
,
consisting
of
the
remainder
of
the
cold
joint
,
a
small
piece
of
salmon
(
which
I
was
to
refuse
,
in
case
there
was
not
enough
to
go
round
)
,
and
a
blanc-mange
and
custards
.
There
was
also
a
decanter
of
port
and
some
jam
puffs
on
the
sideboard
.
Mrs.
James
made
us
play
rather
a
good
game
of
cards
,
called
"
Muggings
.
"
To
my
surprise
,
in
fact
disgust
,
Lupin
got
up
in
the
middle
,
and
,
in
a
most
sarcastic
tone
,
said
:
"
Pardon
me
,
this
sort
of
thing
is
too
fast
for
me
,
I
shall
go
and
enjoy
a
quiet
game
of
marbles
in
the
back-garden
.
