Carrie
sent
out
invitations
to
Gowing
,
the
Cummings
,
to
Mr.
and
Mrs.
James
(
of
Sutton
)
,
and
Mr.
Stillbrook
.
I
wrote
a
note
to
Mr.
Franching
,
of
Peckham
.
Carrie
said
we
May
as
well
make
it
a
nice
affair
,
and
why
not
ask
our
principal
,
Mr.
Perkupp
?
I
said
I
feared
we
were
not
quite
grand
enough
for
him
.
Carrie
said
there
was
"
no
offence
in
asking
him
.
"
I
said
:
"
Certainly
not
,
"
and
I
wrote
him
a
letter
.
Carrie
confessed
she
was
a
little
disappointed
with
Daisy
Mutlar
's
appearance
,
but
thought
she
seemed
a
nice
girl
.
November
14
.
--
Everybody
so
far
has
accepted
for
our
quite
grand
little
party
for
tomorrow
.
Mr.
Perkupp
,
in
a
nice
letter
which
I
shall
keep
,
wrote
that
he
was
dining
in
Kensington
,
but
if
he
could
get
away
,
he
would
come
up
to
Holloway
for
an
hour
.
Carrie
was
busy
all
day
,
making
little
cakes
and
open
jam
puffs
and
jellies
.
She
said
she
felt
quite
nervous
about
her
responsibilities
tomorrow
evening
.
We
decided
to
have
some
light
things
on
the
table
,
such
as
sandwiches
,
cold
chicken
and
ham
,
and
some
sweets
,
and
on
the
sideboard
a
nice
piece
of
cold
beef
and
a
Paysandu
tongue
--
for
the
more
hungry
ones
to
peg
into
if
they
liked
.
Gowing
called
to
know
if
he
was
to
put
on
"
swallow-tails
"
tomorrow
.
Carrie
said
he
had
better
dress
,
especially
as
Mr.
Franching
was
coming
,
and
there
was
a
possibility
of
Mr.
Perkupp
also
putting
in
an
appearance
.
Gowing
said
:
"
Oh
,
I
only
wanted
to
know
,
for
I
have
not
worn
my
dress-coat
for
some
time
,
and
I
must
send
it
to
have
the
creases
pressed
out
"
After
Gowing
left
,
Lupin
came
in
,
and
in
his
anxiety
to
please
Daisy
Mutlar
,
carped
at
and
criticised
the
arrangements
,
and
,
in
fact
,
disapproved
of
everything
,
including
our
having
asked
our
old
friend
Cummings
,
who
,
he
said
,
would
look
in
evening-dress
like
a
green-grocer
engaged
to
wait
,
and
who
must
not
be
surprised
if
Daisy
took
him
for
one
.
I
fairly
lost
my
temper
,
and
said
:
"
Lupin
,
allow
me
to
tell
you
Miss
Daisy
Mutlar
is
not
the
Queen
of
England
.
I
gave
you
credit
for
more
wisdom
than
to
allow
yourself
to
be
inveigled
into
an
engagement
with
a
woman
considerably
older
than
yourself
.
I
advise
you
to
think
of
earning
your
living
before
entangling
yourself
with
a
wife
whom
you
will
have
to
support
,
and
,
in
all
probability
,
her
brother
also
,
who
appeared
to
be
nothing
but
a
loafer
.
"
Instead
of
receiving
this
advice
in
a
sensible
manner
,
Lupin
jumped
up
and
said
:
"
If
you
insult
the
lady
I
am
engaged
to
,
you
insult
me
.
I
will
leave
the
house
and
never
darken
your
doors
again
.
"
He
went
out
of
the
house
,
slamming
the
hall-door
.
But
it
was
all
right
.
He
came
back
to
supper
,
and
we
played
Bézique
till
nearly
twelve
o'clock
.
November
15
.
--
A
red-letter
day
.
Our
first
important
party
since
we
have
been
in
this
house
.
I
got
home
early
from
the
City
.
Lupin
insisted
on
having
a
hired
waiter
,
and
stood
a
half-dozen
of
champagne
.
I
think
this
an
unnecessary
expense
,
but
Lupin
said
he
had
had
a
piece
of
luck
,
having
made
three
pounds
out
a
private
deal
in
the
City
.
I
hope
he
wo
n't
gamble
in
his
new
situation
.
The
supper-room
looked
so
nice
,
and
Carrie
truly
said
:
"
We
need
not
be
ashamed
of
its
being
seen
by
Mr.
Perkupp
,
should
he
honour
us
by
coming
.
"
