In
fact
,
I
could
eat
nothing
.
I
was
not
only
too
worried
,
but
I
can
not
and
will
not
eat
cushion
of
bacon
.
If
I
can
not
get
streaky
bacon
,
I
will
do
without
anything
.

When
Lupin
rose
to
go
I
noticed
a
malicious
smile
creep
over
his
face
.
I
asked
him
what
it
meant
.
He
replied
:
"
Oh
!
only
a
little
consolation
--
still
it
is
a
consolation
.
I
have
just
remembered
that
,
by
my
advice
,
Mr.
Murray
Posh
has
invested
#
600
in
Parachikka
Chlorates
!

--
To-day
being
the
day
on
which
Daisy
Mutlar
and
Mr.
Murray
Posh
are
to
be
married
,
Lupin
has
gone
with
a
friend
to
spend
the
day
at
Gravesend
.
Lupin
has
been
much
cut-up
over
the
affair
,
although
he
declares
that
he
is
glad
it
is
off
.
I
wish
he
would
not
go
to
so
many
music-halls
,
but
one
dare
not
say
anything
to
him
about
it
.
At
the
present
moment
he
irritates
me
by
singing
all
over
the
house
some
nonsense
about
"
What
's
the
matter
with
Gladstone
?
He
's
all
right
!
What
's
the
matter
with
Lupin
?
He
's
all
right
!
"
I
do
n't
think
either
of
them
is
.
In
the
evening
Gowing
called
,
and
the
chief
topic
of
conversation
was
Daisy
's
marriage
to
Murray
Posh
.
I
said
:
"
I
was
glad
the
matter
was
at
an
end
,
as
Daisy
would
only
have
made
a
fool
of
Lupin
.
"
Gowing
,
with
his
usual
good
taste
,
said
:
"
Oh
,
Master
Lupin
can
make
a
fool
of
himself
without
any
assistance
.
"
Carrie
very
properly
resented
this
,
and
Gowing
had
sufficient
sense
to
say
he
was
sorry
.

To-day
I
shall
conclude
my
diary
,
for
it
is
one
of
the
happiest
days
of
my
life
.
My
great
dream
of
the
last
few
weeks
--
in
fact
,
of
many
years
--
has
been
realised
.
This
morning
came
a
letter
from
Mr.
Perkupp
,
asking
me
to
take
Lupin
down
to
the
office
with
me
.
I
went
to
Lupin
's
room
;
poor
fellow
,
he
seemed
very
pale
,
and
said
he
had
a
bad
headache
.
He
had
come
back
yesterday
from
Gravesend
,
where
he
spent
part
of
the
day
in
a
small
boat
on
the
water
,
having
been
mad
enough
to
neglect
to
take
his
overcoat
with
him
.
I
showed
him
Mr.
Perkupp
's
letter
,
and
he
got
up
as
quickly
as
possible
.
455
I
begged
of
him
not
to
put
on
his
fast-coloured
clothes
and
ties
,
but
to
dress
in
something
black
or
quiet-looking
.
456
Carrie
was
all
of
a
tremble
when
she
read
the
letter
,
and
all
she
could
keep
on
saying
was
:
"
Oh
,
I
do
hope
it
will
be
all
right
.
"
For
myself
,
I
could
scarcely
eat
any
breakfast
.
Lupin
came
down
dressed
quietly
,
and
looking
a
perfect
gentleman
,
except
that
his
face
was
rather
yellow
.
Carrie
,
by
way
of
encouragement
said
:
"
You
do
look
nice
,
Lupin
.
"
Lupin
replied
:
"
Yes
,
it
's
a
good
make-up
,
is
n't
it
?
A
regular-downright-respectable-funereal-first-class-City-firm-junior-clerk
.
"
He
laughed
rather
ironically
.
457
In
the
hall
I
heard
a
great
noise
,
and
also
Lupin
shouting
to
Sarah
to
fetch
down
his
old
hat
.
I
went
into
the
passage
,
and
found
Lupin
in
a
fury
,
kicking
and
smashing
a
new
tall
hat
.
I
said
:
"
Lupin
,
my
boy
,
what
are
you
doing
?
How
wicked
of
you
!
Some
poor
fellow
would
be
glad
to
have
it
.
"
Lupin
replied
:
"
I
would
not
insult
any
poor
fellow
by
giving
it
to
him
.

When
he
had
gone
outside
,
I
picked
up
the
battered
hat
,
and
saw
inside
"
Posh
's
Patent
.
"
Poor
Lupin
!
I
can
forgive
him
.
It
seemed
hours
before
we
reached
the
office
.
Mr.
Perkupp
sent
for
Lupin
,
who
was
with
him
nearly
an
hour
.
He
returned
,
as
I
thought
,
crestfallen
in
appearance
.
I
said
:
"
Well
,
Lupin
,
how
about
Mr.
Perkupp
?
"
Lupin
commenced
his
song
:
"
What
's
the
matter
with
Perkupp
?
He
's
all
right
!
"
I
felt
instinctively
my
boy
was
engaged
.
I
went
to
Mr.
Perkupp
,
but
I
could
not
speak
.
He
said
:
"
Well
,
Mr.
459
Pooter
,
what
is
it
?
"
I
must
have
looked
a
fool
,
for
all
I
could
say
was
:
"
Mr.
Perkupp
,
you
are
a
good
man
.
"
He
looked
at
me
for
a
moment
,
and
said
:
"
No
,
Mr.
Pooter
,
you
are
the
good
man
;
and
we
'll
see
if
we
can
not
get
your
son
to
follow
such
an
excellent
example
.
"
I
said
:
"
Mr.
Perkupp
,
May
I
go
home
?
I
can
not
work
any
more
today
.
"
460
My
good
master
shook
my
hand
warmly
as
he
nodded
his
head
.
It
was
as
much
as
I
could
do
to
prevent
myself
from
crying
in
the
'
bus
;
in
fact
,
I
should
have
done
so
,
had
my
thoughts
not
been
interrupted
by
Lupin
,
who
was
having
a
quarrel
with
a
fat
man
in
the
'
bus
,
whom
he
accused
of
taking
up
too
much
room
.
