He
said
it
was
the
best
party
he
had
been
to
for
many
a
year
;
but
he
wished
we
had
let
him
know
it
was
full
dress
,
as
he
would
have
turned
up
in
his
swallow-tails
.
We
sat
down
to
a
quiet
game
of
dominoes
,
and
were
interrupted
by
the
noisy
entrance
of
Lupin
and
Frank
Mutlar
.
Cummings
and
I
asked
them
to
join
us
.
Lupin
said
he
did
not
care
for
dominoes
,
and
suggested
a
game
of
"
Spoof
.
"
On
my
asking
if
it
required
counters
,
Frank
and
Lupin
in
measured
time
said
:
"
One
,
two
,
three
;
go
!
Have
you
an
estate
in
Greenland
?
"
It
was
simply
Greek
to
me
,
but
it
appears
it
is
one
of
the
customs
of
the
"
Holloway
Comedians
"
to
do
this
when
a
member
displays
ignorance
.
In
spite
of
my
instructions
,
that
blanc-mange
was
brought
up
again
for
supper
.
To
make
matters
worse
,
there
had
been
an
attempt
to
disguise
it
,
by
placing
it
in
a
glass
dish
with
jam
round
it
.
Carrie
asked
Lupin
if
he
would
have
some
,
and
he
replied
:
"
No
second-hand
goods
for
me
,
thank
you
.
"
I
told
Carrie
,
when
we
were
alone
,
if
that
blanc-mange
were
placed
on
the
table
again
I
should
walk
out
of
the
house
.
November
19
,
Sunday
.
--
A
delightfully
quiet
day
.
In
the
afternoon
Lupin
was
off
to
spend
the
rest
of
the
day
with
the
Mutlars
.
He
departed
in
the
best
of
spirits
,
and
Carrie
said
:
"
Well
,
one
advantage
of
Lupin
's
engagement
with
Daisy
is
that
the
boy
seems
happy
all
day
long
.
That
quite
reconciles
me
to
what
I
must
confess
seems
an
imprudent
engagement
.
"
Carrie
and
I
talked
the
matter
over
during
the
evening
,
and
agreed
that
it
did
not
always
follow
that
an
early
engagement
meant
an
unhappy
marriage
Dear
Carrie
reminded
me
that
we
married
early
,
and
,
with
the
exception
of
a
few
trivial
misunderstandings
,
we
had
never
had
a
really
serious
word
.
I
could
not
help
thinking
(
as
I
told
her
)
that
half
the
pleasures
of
life
were
derived
from
the
little
struggles
and
small
privations
that
one
had
to
endure
at
the
beginning
of
one
's
married
life
.
Such
struggles
were
generally
occasioned
by
want
of
means
,
and
often
helped
to
make
loving
couples
stand
together
all
the
firmer
.
Carrie
said
I
had
expressed
myself
wonderfully
well
,
and
that
I
was
quite
a
philosopher
.
We
are
all
vain
at
times
,
and
I
must
confess
I
felt
flattered
by
Carrie
's
little
compliment
.
I
do
n't
pretend
to
be
able
to
express
myself
in
fine
language
,
but
I
feel
I
have
the
power
of
expressing
my
thoughts
with
simplicity
and
lucidness
.
About
nine
o'clock
,
to
our
surprise
,
Lupin
entered
,
with
a
wild
,
reckless
look
,
and
in
a
hollow
voice
,
which
I
must
say
seemed
rather
theatrical
,
said
:
"
Have
you
any
brandy
?
"
I
said
:
"
No
;
but
here
is
some
whisky
.
"
Lupin
drank
off
nearly
a
wineglassful
without
water
,
to
my
horror
.
We
all
three
sat
reading
in
silence
till
ten
,
when
Carrie
and
I
rose
to
go
to
bed
.
Carrie
said
to
Lupin
:
"
I
hope
Daisy
is
well
?
"
Lupin
,
with
a
forced
careless
air
that
he
must
have
picked
up
from
the
"
Holloway
Comedians
,
"
replied
:
"
Oh
,
Daisy
?
You
mean
Miss
Mutlar
.
I
do
n't
know
whether
she
is
well
or
not
,
but
please
never
to
mention
her
name
again
in
my
presence
.
"
November
20
.
--
Have
seen
nothing
of
Lupin
the
whole
day
.
Bought
a
cheap
address-book
.
I
spent
the
evening
copying
in
the
names
and
addresses
of
my
friends
and
acquaintances
.
Left
out
the
Mutlars
of
course
.
