I
was
absolutely
horrified
at
my
own
awkwardness
.
Fortunately
at
this
moment
Carrie
entered
with
Mrs.
Finsworth
,
who
had
taken
her
upstairs
to
take
off
her
bonnet
and
brush
her
skirt
.
Teddy
said
:
"
Short
is
late
,
"
but
at
that
moment
the
gentleman
referred
to
arrived
,
and
I
was
introduced
to
him
by
Teddy
,
who
said
:
"
Do
you
know
Mr.
Short
?
"
I
replied
,
smiling
,
that
I
had
not
that
pleasure
,
but
I
hoped
it
would
not
be
long
before
I
knew
Mr.
Short
.
He
evidently
did
not
see
my
little
joke
,
although
I
repeated
it
twice
with
a
little
laugh
.
I
suddenly
remembered
it
was
Sunday
,
and
Mr.
Short
was
perhaps
very
particular
.
In
this
I
was
mistaken
,
for
he
was
not
at
all
particular
in
several
of
his
remarks
after
dinner
.
In
fact
I
was
so
ashamed
of
one
of
his
observations
that
I
took
the
opportunity
to
say
to
Mrs.
512
Finsworth
that
I
feared
she
found
Mr.
Short
occasionally
a
little
embarrassing
.
To
my
surprise
she
said
:
"
Oh
!
he
is
privileged
you
know
.
"
I
did
not
know
as
a
matter
of
fact
,
and
so
I
bowed
apologetically
.
I
fail
to
see
why
Mr.
Short
should
be
privileged
.
513
Another
thing
that
annoyed
me
at
dinner
was
that
the
collie
dog
,
which
jumped
up
at
Carrie
,
was
allowed
to
remain
under
the
dining-room
table
.
It
kept
growling
and
snapping
at
my
boots
every
time
I
moved
my
foot
.
Feeling
nervous
rather
,
I
spoke
to
Mrs.
Finsworth
about
the
animal
,
and
she
remarked
:
"
It
is
only
his
play
.
"
She
jumped
up
and
let
in
a
frightfully
ugly-looking
spaniel
called
Bibbs
,
which
had
been
scratching
at
the
door
.
This
dog
also
seemed
to
take
a
fancy
to
my
boots
,
and
I
discovered
afterwards
that
it
had
licked
off
every
bit
of
blacking
from
them
.
I
was
positively
ashamed
of
being
seen
in
them
.
Mrs.
Finsworth
,
who
,
I
must
say
,
is
not
much
of
a
Job
's
comforter
,
said
:
"
Oh
!
we
are
used
to
Bibbs
doing
that
to
our
visitors
.

Mr.
Finsworth
had
up
some
fine
port
,
although
I
question
whether
it
is
a
good
thing
to
take
on
the
top
of
beer
.
It
made
me
feel
a
little
sleepy
,
while
it
had
the
effect
of
inducing
Mr.
Short
to
become
"
privileged
"
to
rather
an
alarming
extent
.
It
being
cold
even
for
April
,
there
was
a
fire
in
the
drawing-room
;
we
sat
round
in
easy-chairs
,
and
Teddy
and
I
waxed
rather
eloquent
over
the
old
school
days
,
which
had
the
effect
of
sending
all
the
others
to
sleep
.
I
was
delighted
,
as
far
as
Mr.
Short
was
concerned
,
that
it
did
have
that
effect
on
him
.
515
We
stayed
till
four
,
and
the
walk
home
was
remarkable
only
for
the
fact
that
several
fools
giggled
at
the
unpolished
state
of
my
boots
.
Polished
them
myself
when
I
got
home
.
Went
to
church
in
the
evening
,
and
could
scarcely
keep
awake
.
I
will
not
take
port
on
the
top
of
beer
again
.

April
29
.
--
I
am
getting
quite
accustomed
to
being
snubbed
by
Lupin
,
and
I
do
not
mind
being
sat
upon
by
Carrie
,
because
I
think
she
has
a
certain
amount
of
right
to
do
so
;
but
I
do
think
it
hard
to
be
at
once
snubbed
by
wife
,
son
,
and
both
my
guests
.
517
Gowing
and
Cummings
had
dropped
in
during
the
evening
,
and
I
suddenly
remembered
an
extraordinary
dream
I
had
a
few
nights
ago
,
and
I
thought
I
would
tell
them
about
it
.
I
dreamt
I
saw
some
huge
blocks
of
ice
in
a
shop
with
a
bright
glare
behind
them
.
I
walked
into
the
shop
and
the
heat
was
overpowering
.
I
found
that
the
blocks
of
ice
were
on
fire
.
The
whole
thing
was
so
real
and
yet
so
supernatural
I
woke
up
in
a
cold
perspiration
.
Lupin
in
a
most
contemptuous
manner
,
said
:
"
What
utter
rot
.
"

Before
I
could
reply
,
Gowing
said
there
was
nothing
so
completely
uninteresting
as
other
people
's
dreams
.
519
I
appealed
to
Cummings
,
but
he
said
he
was
bound
to
agree
with
the
others
and
my
dream
was
especially
nonsensical
.
I
said
:
"
It
seemed
so
real
to
me
.
"
Gowing
replied
:
"
Yes
,
to
you
perhaps
,
but
not
to
us
.
"
Whereupon
they
all
roared
.
520
Carrie
,
who
had
hitherto
been
quiet
,
said
:
"
He
tells
me
his
stupid
dreams
every
morning
nearly
