I
dressed
early
in
case
people
should
arrive
punctually
at
eight
o'clock
,
and
was
much
vexed
to
find
my
new
dress-trousers
much
too
short
.
Lupin
,
who
is
getting
beyond
his
position
,
found
fault
with
my
wearing
ordinary
boots
instead
of
dress-boots
.
I
replied
satirically
:
"
My
dear
son
,
I
have
lived
to
be
above
that
sort
of
thing
.
"
Lupin
burst
out
laughing
,
and
said
:
"
A
man
generally
was
above
his
boots
.
"
This
May
be
funny
,
or
it
May
not
;
but
I
was
gratified
to
find
he
had
not
discovered
the
coral
had
come
off
one
of
my
studs
.
Carrie
looked
a
picture
,
wearing
the
dress
she
wore
at
the
Mansion
House
.
The
arrangement
of
the
drawing-room
was
excellent
.
Carrie
had
hung
muslin
curtains
over
the
folding-doors
,
and
also
over
one
of
the
entrances
,
for
we
had
removed
the
door
from
its
hinges
.
Mr.
Peters
,
the
waiter
,
arrived
in
good
time
,
and
I
gave
him
strict
orders
not
to
open
another
bottle
of
champagne
until
the
previous
one
was
empty
.
Carrie
arranged
for
some
sherry
and
port
wine
to
be
placed
on
the
drawing-room
sideboard
,
with
some
glasses
.
By-the-by
,
our
new
enlarged
and
tinted
photographs
look
very
nice
on
the
walls
,
especially
as
Carrie
has
arranged
some
Liberty
silk
bows
on
the
four
corners
of
them
.
The
first
arrival
was
Gowing
,
who
,
with
his
usual
taste
,
greeted
me
with
:
"
Hulloh
,
Pooter
,
why
your
trousers
are
too
short
!
"
I
simply
said
:
"
Very
likely
,
and
you
will
find
my
temper
'
short
'
also
.
"
He
said
:
"
That
wo
n't
make
your
trousers
longer
,
Juggins
.
You
should
get
your
missus
to
put
a
flounce
on
them
.
"
