In
the
course
of
conversation
,
Daisy
's
name
cropped
up
,
and
young
Mutlar
said
he
would
bring
his
sister
round
to
us
one
evening
--
his
parents
being
rather
old-fashioned
,
and
not
going
out
much
.
Carrie
said
we
would
get
up
a
little
special
party
.
As
young
Mutlar
showed
no
inclination
to
go
,
and
it
was
approaching
eleven
o'clock
,
as
a
hint
I
reminded
Lupin
that
he
had
to
be
up
early
tomorrow
.
Instead
of
taking
the
hint
,
Mutlar
began
a
series
of
comic
imitations
.
He
went
on
for
an
hour
without
cessation
.
Poor
Carrie
could
scarcely
keep
her
eyes
open
.
At
last
she
made
an
excuse
,
and
said
"
Good-night
.
212
"
213
Mutlar
then
left
,
and
I
heard
him
and
Lupin
whispering
in
the
hall
something
about
the
"
Holloway
Comedians
,
"
and
to
my
disgust
,
although
it
was
past
midnight
,
Lupin
put
on
his
hat
and
coat
,
and
went
out
with
his
new
companion
.

My
endeavours
to
discover
who
tore
the
sheets
out
of
my
diary
still
fruitless
.
Lupin
has
Daisy
Mutlar
on
the
brain
,
so
we
see
little
of
him
,
except
that
he
invariably
turns
up
at
meal
times
.
Cummings
dropped
in
.

--
Lupin
seems
to
like
his
new
berth
--
that
's
a
comfort
.
Daisy
Mutlar
the
sole
topic
of
conversation
during
tea
.
Carrie
almost
as
full
of
it
as
Lupin
.
Lupin
informs
me
,
to
my
disgust
,
that
he
has
been
persuaded
to
take
part
in
the
forthcoming
performance
of
the
"
Holloway
Comedians
.
"
He
says
he
is
to
play
Bob
Britches
in
the
farce
,
Gone
to
my
Uncle
's
;
Frank
Mutlar
is
going
to
play
old
Musty
.
I
told
Lupin
pretty
plainly
I
was
not
in
the
least
degree
interested
in
the
matter
,
and
totally
disapproved
of
amateur
theatricals
.
Gowing
came
in
the
evening
.

.
--
Returned
home
to
find
the
house
in
a
most
disgraceful
uproar
,
Carrie
,
who
appeared
very
frightened
,
was
standing
outside
her
bedroom
,
while
Sarah
was
excited
and
crying
.
Mrs.
Birrell
(
the
charwoman
)
,
who
had
evidently
been
drinking
,
was
shouting
at
the
top
of
her
voice
that
she
was
"
no
thief
,
that
she
was
a
respectable
woman
,
who
had
to
work
hard
for
her
living
,
and
she
would
smack
anyone
's
face
who
put
lies
into
her
mouth
.
"
Lupin
,
whose
back
was
towards
me
,
did
not
hear
me
come
in
.
217
He
was
standing
between
the
two
women
,
and
,
I
regret
to
say
,
in
his
endeavour
to
act
as
peacemaker
,
he
made
use
of
rather
strong
language
in
the
presence
of
his
mother
;
and
I
was
just
in
time
to
hear
him
say
:
"
And
all
this
fuss
about
the
loss
of
a
few
pages
from
a
rotten
diary
that
would
n't
fetch
three-halfpence
a
pound
!
"
I
said
,
quietly
:
"
Pardon
me
,
Lupin
,
that
is
a
matter
of
opinion
;
and
as
I
am
master
of
this
house
,
perhaps
you
will
allow
me
to
take
the
reins
.
"

I
ascertained
that
the
cause
of
the
row
was
,
that
Sarah
had
accused
Mrs.
Birrell
of
tearing
the
pages
out
of
my
diary
to
wrap
up
some
kitchen
fat
and
leavings
which
she
had
taken
out
of
the
house
last
week
.
Mrs.
Birrell
had
slapped
Sarah
's
face
,
and
said
she
had
taken
nothing
out
of
the
place
,
as
there
was
"
never
no
leavings
to
take
.
"
I
ordered
Sarah
back
to
her
work
,
and
requested
Mrs.
Birrell
to
go
home
.
When
I
entered
the
parlour
Lupin
was
kicking
his
legs
in
the
air
,
and
roaring
with
laughter
.

Sunday
.
--
Coming
home
from
church
Carrie
and
I
met
Lupin
,
Daisy
Mutlar
,
and
her
brother
.
Daisy
was
introduced
to
us
,
and
we
walked
home
together
,
Carrie
walking
on
with
Miss
Mutlar
.
We
asked
them
in
for
a
few
minutes
,
and
I
had
a
good
look
at
my
future
daughter-inlaw
.
My
heart
quite
sank
.
She
is
a
big
young
woman
,
and
I
should
think
at
least
eight
years
older
than
Lupin
.
I
did
not
even
think
her
good-looking
.
Carrie
asked
her
if
she
could
come
in
on
Wednesday
next
with
her
brother
to
meet
a
few
friends
.
She
replied
that
she
would
only
be
too
pleased
.
