I
saw
the
tears
in
the
eyes
of
both
Carrie
and
her
mother
,
and
must
say
I
felt
very
flattered
by
the
compliment
.
That
dear
old
Reverend
John
Panzy
Smith
,
who
married
us
,
made
a
most
cheerful
and
amusing
speech
,
and
said
he
should
act
on
my
suggestion
respecting
the
kissing
.
He
then
walked
round
the
table
and
kissed
all
the
ladies
,
including
Carrie
.
Of
course
one
did
not
object
to
this
;
but
I
was
more
than
staggered
when
a
young
fellow
named
Moss
,
who
was
a
stranger
to
me
,
and
who
had
scarcely
spoken
a
word
through
dinner
,
jumped
up
suddenly
with
a
sprig
of
misletoe
,
and
exclaimed
:
"
Hulloh
!
I
do
n't
see
why
I
should
n't
be
on
in
this
scene
.
"
Before
one
could
realise
what
he
was
about
to
do
,
he
kissed
Carrie
and
the
rest
of
the
ladies
.
342
Fortunately
the
matter
was
treated
as
a
joke
,
and
we
all
laughed
;
but
it
was
a
dangerous
experiment
,
and
I
felt
very
uneasy
for
a
moment
as
to
the
result
.
I
subsequently
referred
to
the
matter
to
Carrie
,
but
she
said
:
"
Oh
,
he
's
not
much
more
than
a
boy
.
"
I
said
that
he
had
a
very
large
moustache
for
a
boy
.
Carrie
replied
:
"
I
did
n't
say
he
was
not
a
nice
boy
.
"

December
26
.
--
I
did
not
sleep
very
well
last
night
;
I
never
do
in
a
strange
bed
.
I
feel
a
little
indigestion
,
which
one
must
expect
at
this
time
of
the
year
.
Carrie
and
I
returned
to
Town
in
the
evening
.
Lupin
came
in
late
.

He
said
he
enjoyed
his
Christmas
,
and
added
:
"
I
feel
as
fit
as
a
Lowther
Arcade
fiddle
,
and
only
require
a
little
more
'
oof
'
to
feel
as
fit
as
a
#
500
Stradivarius
.
"
I
have
long
since
given
up
trying
to
understand
Lupin
's
slang
,
or
asking
him
to
explain
it
.
345
December
27
.
--
I
told
Lupin
I
was
expecting
Gowing
and
Cummings
to
drop
in
tomorrow
evening
for
a
quiet
game
.
I
was
in
hope
the
boy
would
volunteer
to
stay
in
,
and
help
to
amuse
them
.
Instead
of
which
,
he
said
:
"
Oh
,
you
had
better
put
them
off
,
as
I
have
asked
Daisy
and
Frank
Mutlar
to
come
.
"
I
said
I
could
not
think
of
doing
such
a
thing
.
Lupin
said
:
"
Then
I
will
send
a
wire
,
and
put
off
Daisy
.
"
I
suggested
that
a
post-card
or
letter
would
reach
her
quite
soon
enough
,
and
would
not
be
so
extravagant
.
346
Carrie
,
who
had
listened
to
the
above
conversation
with
apparent
annoyance
,
directed
a
well-aimed
shaft
at
Lupin
.
She
said
:
"
Lupin
,
why
do
you
object
to
Daisy
meeting
your
father
's
friends
?
Is
it
because
they
are
not
good
enough
for
her
,
or
(
which
is
equally
possible
)
she
is
not
good
enough
for
them
?
"
Lupin
was
dumbfounded
,
and
could
make
no
reply
.
When
he
left
the
room
,
I
gave
Carrie
a
kiss
of
approval
.
347
December
28
--
Lupin
,
on
coming
down
to
breakfast
,
said
to
his
mother
:
"
I
have
not
put
off
Daisy
and
Frank
,
and
should
like
them
to
join
Gowing
and
Cummings
this
evening
.
"
I
felt
very
pleased
with
the
boy
for
this
.
Carrie
said
,
in
reply
:
"
I
am
glad
you
let
me
know
in
time
,
as
I
can
turn
over
the
cold
leg
of
mutton
,
dress
it
with
a
little
parsley
,
and
no
one
will
know
it
has
been
cut
.

"
She
further
said
she
would
make
a
few
custards
,
and
stew
some
pippins
,
so
that
they
would
be
cold
by
the
evening
.
349
Finding
Lupin
in
good
spirits
,
I
asked
him
quietly
if
he
really
had
any
personal
objection
to
either
Gowing
or
Cummings
.
He
replied
:
"
Not
in
the
least
.
I
think
Cummings
looks
rather
an
ass
,
but
that
is
partly
due
to
his
patronising
'
the
three-and-six-one-price
hat
company
,
'
and
wearing
a
reach-me-down
frock-coat
.
As
for
that
perpetual
brown
velveteen
jacket
of
Gowing
's
--
why
,
he
resembles
an
itinerant
photographer
.
"
350
I
said
it
was
not
the
coat
that
made
the
gentleman
;
whereupon
Lupin
,
with
a
laugh
,
replied
:
"
No
,
and
it
was
n't
much
of
a
gentleman
who
made
their
coats
.
"
