Gowing
called
to
me
across
the
gate
,
and
said
:
"
We
sha
n't
be
a
minute
.
"
I
waited
for
them
the
best
part
of
an
hour
.
When
they
appeared
they
were
all
in
most
excellent
spirits
,
and
the
only
one
who
made
an
effort
to
apologise
was
Mr.
Stillbrook
,
who
said
to
me
:
"
It
was
very
rough
on
you
to
be
kept
waiting
,
but
we
had
another
spin
for
S.
and
B.
's
.
"
I
walked
home
in
silence
;
I
could
n't
speak
to
them
.
I
felt
very
dull
all
the
evening
,
but
deemed
it
advisable
not
to
say
anything
to
Carrie
about
the
matter
.
32
April

.
--
After
business
,
set
to
work
in
the
garden
.
When
it
got
dark
I
wrote
to
Cummings
and
Gowing
(
who
neither
called
,
for
a
wonder
;
perhaps
they
were
ashamed
of
themselves
)
about
yesterday
's
adventure
at
"
The
Cow
and
Hedge
.
"
Afterwards
made
up
my
mind
not
to
write
yet
.

Thought
I
would
write
a
kind
little
note
to
Gowing
and
Cummings
about
last
Sunday
,
and
warning
them
against
Mr.
Stillbrook
.
Afterwards
,
thinking
the
matter
over
,
tore
up
the
letters
and
determined
not
to
write
at
all
,
but
to
speak
quietly
to
them
.
Dumfounded
at
receiving
a
sharp
letter
from
Cummings
,
saying
that
both
he
and
Gowing
had
been
waiting
for
an
explanation
of
my
(
mind
you
,
MY
)
extraordinary
conduct
coming
home
on
Sunday
.
At
last
I
wrote
:
"
I
thought
I
was
the
aggrieved
party
;
but
as
I
freely
forgive
you
,
you
--
feeling
yourself
aggrieved
--
should
bestow
forgiveness
on
me
.
"
I
have
copied
this
verbatim
in
the
diary
,
because
I
think
it
is
one
of
the
most
perfect
and
thoughtful
sentences
I
have
ever
written
.
I
posted
the
letter
,
but
in
my
own
heart
I
felt
I
was
actually
apologising
for
having
been
insulted
.

.
--
Am
in
for
a
cold
.
Spent
the
whole
day
at
the
office
sneezing
.
In
the
evening
,
the
cold
being
intolerable
,
sent
Sarah
out
for
a
bottle
of
Kinahan
.
Fell
asleep
in
the
arm-chair
,
and
woke
with
the
shivers
.
Was
startled
by
a
loud
knock
at
the
front
door
.
Carrie
awfully
flurried
.
Sarah
still
out
,
so
went
up
,
opened
the
door
,
and
found
it
was
only
Cummings
.
Remembered
the
grocer
's
boy
had
again
broken
the
side-bell
.
Cummings
squeezed
my
hand
,
and
said
:
"
I
've
just
seen
Gowing
.
All
right
.
Say
no
more
about
it
.
"
There
is
no
doubt
they
are
both
under
the
impression
I
have
apologised
36
While
playing
dominoes
with
Cummings
in
the
parlour
,
he
said
:
"
By-the-by
,
do
you
want
any
wine
or
spirits
?
My
cousin
Merton
has
just
set
up
in
the
trade
,
and
has
a
splendid
whisky
,
four
years
in
bottle
,
at
thirty-eight
shillings
.
It
is
worth
your
while
laying
down
a
few
dozen
of
it
.
"
I
told
him
my
cellars
,
which
were
very
small
,
were
full
up
.
To
my
horror
,
at
that
very
moment
,
Sarah
entered
the
room
,
and
putting
a
bottle
of
whisky
,
wrapped
in
a
dirty
piece
of
newspaper
,
on
the
table
in
front
of
us
,
said
:
"
Please
,
sir
,
the
grocer
says
he
ai
n't
got
no
more
Kinahan
,
but
you
'll
find
this
very
good
at
two-and-six
,
with
twopence
returned
on
the
bottle
;
and
,
please
,
did
you
want
any
more
sherry
?
as
he
has
some
at
one-and-three
,
as
dry
as
a
nut
!
"
37
April

.
--
Cummings
called
,
bringing
with
him
his
friend
Merton
,
who
is
in
the
wine
trade
.
Gowing
also
called
.
Mr.
Merton
made
himself
at
home
at
once
,
and
Carrie
and
I
were
both
struck
with
him
immediately
,
and
thoroughly
approved
of
his
sentiments
.

He
leaned
back
in
his
chair
and
said
:
"
You
must
take
me
as
I
am
;
"
and
I
replied
:
"
Yes
--
and
you
must
take
us
as
we
are
.
We
're
homely
people
,
we
are
not
swells
.
"
39
He
answered
:
"
No
,
I
can
see
that
,
"
and
Gowing
roared
with
laughter
;
but
Merton
in
a
most
gentlemanly
manner
said
to
Gowing
:
"
I
do
n't
think
you
quite
understand
me
.
I
intended
to
convey
that
our
charming
host
and
hostess
were
superior
to
the
follies
of
fashion
,
and
preferred
leading
a
simple
and
wholesome
life
to
gadding
about
to
twopenny-halfpenny
tea-drinking
afternoons
,
and
living
above
their
incomes
.
"
40
I
was
immensely
pleased
with
these
sensible
remarks
of
Merton
's
,
and
concluded
that
subject
by
saying
:
"
No
,
candidly
,
Mr.
Merton
,
we
do
n't
go
into
Society
,
because
we
do
not
care
for
it
;
and
what
with
the
expense
of
cabs
here
and
cabs
there
,
and
white
gloves
and
white
ties
,
etc.
,
it
does
n't
seem
worth
the
money
.
"
