Lupin
turned
up
for
a
few
minutes
in
the
evening
.
He
asked
for
a
drop
of
brandy
with
a
sort
of
careless
look
,
which
to
my
mind
was
theatrical
and
quite
ineffective
.
I
said
:
"
My
boy
,
I
have
none
,
and
I
do
n't
think
I
should
give
it
you
if
I
had
.
"
Lupin
said
:
"
I
'll
go
where
I
can
get
some
,
"
and
walked
out
of
the
house
.
Carrie
took
the
boy
's
part
,
and
the
rest
of
the
evening
was
spent
in
a
disagreeable
discussion
,
in
which
the
words
"
Daisy
"
and
"
Mutlar
"
must
have
occurred
a
thousand
times
.
272
November
22
.
--
Gowing
and
Cummings
dropped
in
during
the
evening
.
Lupin
also
came
in
,
bringing
his
friend
,
Mr.
Burwin
--
Fosselton
--
one
of
the
"
Holloway
Comedians
"
--
who
was
at
our
party
the
other
night
,
and
who
cracked
our
little
round
table
.
Happy
to
say
Daisy
Mutlar
was
never
referred
to
.
The
conversation
was
almost
entirely
monopolised
by
the
young
fellow
Fosselton
,
who
not
only
looked
rather
like
Mr.
Irving
,
but
seemed
to
imagine
that
he
was
the
celebrated
actor
.
I
must
say
he
gave
some
capital
imitations
of
him
.
As
he
showed
no
signs
of
moving
at
supper
time
,
I
said
:
"
If
you
like
to
stay
,
Mr.
Fosselton
,
for
our
usual
crust
--
pray
do
.
"
He
replied
:
"
Oh
!
thanks
;
but
please
call
me
Burwin
--
Fosselton
.
It
is
a
double
name
.
There
are
lots
of
Fosseltons
,
but
please
call
me
Burwin
--
Fosselton
.

He
began
doing
the
Irving
business
all
through
supper
.
He
sank
so
low
down
in
his
chair
that
his
chin
was
almost
on
a
level
with
the
table
,
and
twice
he
kicked
Carrie
under
the
table
,
upset
his
wine
,
and
flashed
a
knife
uncomfortably
near
Gowing
's
face
.
After
supper
he
kept
stretching
out
his
legs
on
the
fender
,
indulging
in
scraps
of
quotations
from
plays
which
were
Greek
to
me
,
and
more
than
once
knocked
over
the
fire-irons
,
making
a
hideous
row
--
poor
Carrie
already
having
a
bad
headache
.
275
When
he
went
,
he
said
,
to
our
surprise
:
"
I
will
come
tomorrow
and
bring
my
Irving
make-up
.
"
Gowing
and
Cummings
said
they
would
like
to
see
it
and
would
come
too
.
I
could
not
help
thinking
they
might
as
well
give
a
party
at
my
house
while
they
are
about
it
.
However
,
as
Carrie
sensibly
said
:
"
Do
anything
,
dear
,
to
make
Lupin
forget
the
Daisy
Mutlar
business
.
"
276
November
23
.
--
In
the
evening
,
Cummings
came
early
.
Gowing
came
a
little
later
and
brought
,
without
asking
permission
,
a
fat
and
,
I
think
,
very
vulgar-looking
man
named
Padge
,
who
appeared
to
be
all
moustache
.
Gowing
never
attempted
any
apology
to
either
of
us
,
but
said
Padge
wanted
to
see
the
Irving
business
,
to
which
Padge
said
:
"
That
's
right
,
"
and
that
is
about
all
he
did
say
during
the
entire
evening
.
Lupin
came
in
and
seemed
in
much
better
spirits
.
He
had
prepared
a
bit
of
a
surprise
.
Mr.
Burwin
--
Fosselton
had
come
in
with
him
,
but
had
gone
upstairs
to
get
ready
.
In
half-an-hour
Lupin
retired
from
the
parlour
,
and
returning
in
a
few
minutes
,
announced
"
Mr.
Henry
Irving
.
277

I
must
say
we
were
all
astounded
.
I
never
saw
such
a
resemblance
.
It
was
astonishing
.
The
only
person
who
did
not
appear
interested
was
the
man
Padge
,
who
had
got
the
best
arm-chair
,
and
was
puffing
away
at
a
foul
pipe
into
the
fireplace
.
After
some
little
time
I
said
;
"
Why
do
actors
always
wear
their
hair
so
long
?
"
Carrie
in
a
moment
said
,
"
Mr.
Hare
does
n't
wear
long
hair
.
"
How
we
laughed
except
Mr.
Fosselton
,
who
said
,
in
a
rather
patronising
kind
of
way
,
"
The
joke
,
Mrs.
Pooter
,
is
extremely
appropriate
,
if
not
altogether
new
.
"
Thinking
this
rather
a
snub
,
I
said
:
"
Mr.
Fosselton
,
I
fancy
--
"
He
interrupted
me
by
saying
:
"
Mr.
Burwin-Fosselton
,
if
you
please
,
"
which
made
me
quite
forget
what
I
was
going
to
say
to
him
.
During
the
supper
Mr.
Burwin
--
Fosselton
again
monopolised
the
conversation
with
his
Irving
talk
,
and
both
Carrie
and
I
came
to
the
conclusion
one
can
have
even
too
much
imitation
of
Irving
.
After
supper
,
Mr.
Burwin
--
Fosselton
got
a
little
too
boisterous
over
his
Irving
imitation
,
and
suddenly
seizing
Gowing
by
the
collar
of
his
coat
,
dug
his
thumb-nail
,
accidentally
of
course
,
into
Gowing
's
neck
and
took
a
piece
of
flesh
out
.
Gowing
was
rightly
annoyed
,
but
that
man
Padge
,
who
having
declined
our
modest
supper
in
order
that
he
should
not
lose
his
comfortable
chair
,
burst
into
an
uncontrollable
fit
of
laughter
at
the
little
misadventure
.
I
was
so
annoyed
at
the
conduct
of
Padge
,
I
said
:
"
I
suppose
you
would
have
laughed
if
he
had
poked
Mr.
279
Gowing
's
eye
out
?
"
to
which
Padge
replied
:
"
That
's
right
,
"
and
laughed
more
than
ever
.
I
think
perhaps
the
greatest
surprise
was
when
we
broke
up
,
for
Mr.
Burwin
--
Fosselton
said
:
"
Good-night
,
Mr.
Pooter
.
I
'm
glad
you
like
the
imitation
,
I
'll
bring
the
other
make-up
tomorrow
night
.
"
280
November
24
.
--
I
went
to
town
without
a
pocket-handkerchief
.
This
is
the
second
time
I
have
done
this
during
the
last
week
.
I
must
be
losing
my
memory
.
Had
it
not
been
for
this
Daisy
Mutlar
business
,
I
would
have
written
to
Mr.
Burwin
--
Fosselton
and
told
him
I
should
be
out
this
evening
,
but
I
fancy
he
is
the
sort
of
young
man
who
would
come
all
the
same
.
