He
replied
:
"
Oh
dear
,
no
!
quite
the
reverse
,
I
hope
.
"
What
a
weight
off
my
mind
!
My
breath
seemed
to
come
back
again
in
an
instant
.
Mr.
Perkupp
said
:
"
Mr.
Buckling
is
going
to
retire
,
and
there
will
be
some
slight
changes
in
the
office
.
You
have
been
with
us
nearly
twenty-one
years
,
and
,
in
consequence
of
your
conduct
during
that
period
,
we
intend
making
a
special
promotion
in
your
favour
.
We
have
not
quite
decided
how
you
will
be
placed
;
but
in
any
case
there
will
be
a
considerable
increase
in
your
salary
,
which
,
it
is
quite
unnecessary
for
me
to
say
,
you
fully
deserve
.
I
have
an
appointment
at
two
;
but
you
shall
hear
more
tomorrow
.
"
He
then
left
the
room
quickly
,
and
I
was
not
even
allowed
time
or
thought
to
express
a
single
word
of
grateful
thanks
to
him
.
I
need
not
say
how
dear
Carrie
received
this
joyful
news
.
With
perfect
simplicity
she
said
:
"
At
last
we
shall
be
able
to
have
a
chimney-glass
for
the
back
drawing-room
,
which
we
always
wanted
.
"
I
added
:
"
Yes
,
and
at
last
you
shall
have
that
little
costume
which
you
saw
at
Peter
Robinson
's
so
cheap
.
"
January

.
--
I
was
in
a
great
state
of
suspense
all
day
at
the
office
.
I
did
not
like
to
worry
Mr.
Perkupp
;
but
as
he
did
not
send
for
me
,
and
mentioned
yesterday
that
he
would
see
me
again
today
,
I
thought
it
better
,
perhaps
,
to
go
to
him
.
I
knocked
at
his
door
,
and
on
entering
,
Mr.
Perkupp
said
:
"
Oh
!
it
's
you
,
Mr.
Pooter
;
do
you
want
to
see
me
?
"
I
said
:
"
No
,
sir
,
I
thought
you
wanted
to
see
me
!
"
"
Oh
!
"
he
replied
,
"
I
remember
.
Well
,
I
am
very
busy
today
;
I
will
see
you
tomorrow
.
"
January
3
.
--
Still
in
a
state
of
anxiety
and
excitement
,
which
was
not
alleviated
by
ascertaining
that
Mr.
Perkupp
sent
word
he
should
not
be
at
the
office
today
.
In
the
evening
,
Lupin
,
who
was
busily
engaged
with
a
paper
,
said
suddenly
to
me
:
"
Do
you
know
anything
about
chalk
pits
,
Guv
.
?
"
I
said
:
"
No
,
my
boy
,
not
that
I
'm
aware
of
.
"
Lupin
said
:
"
Well
,
I
give
you
the
tip
;
chalk
pits
are
as
safe
as
Consols
,
and
pay
six
per
cent
.
at
par
.
"
I
said
a
rather
neat
thing
,
viz.
:
"
They
May
be
six
per
cent
.
at
par
,
but
your
pa
has
no
money
to
invest
.
"
Carrie
and
I
both
roared
with
laughter
.
Lupin
did
not
take
the
slightest
notice
of
the
joke
,
although
I
purposely
repeated
it
for
him
;
but
continued
:
"
I
give
you
the
tip
,
that
's
all
--
chalk
pits
!
"
I
said
another
funny
thing
:
"
Mind
you
do
n't
fall
into
them
!
"
Lupin
put
on
a
supercilious
smile
,
and
said
:
"
Bravo
!
Joe
Miller

January

.
--
Mr.
Perkupp
sent
for
me
and
told
me
that
my
position
would
be
that
of
one
of
the
senior
clerks
.
I
was
more
than
overjoyed
.
Mr.
Perkupp
added
,
he
would
let
me
know
tomorrow
what
the
salary
would
be
.
This
means
another
day
's
anxiety
;
I
do
n't
mind
,
for
it
is
anxiety
of
the
right
sort
.
That
reminded
me
that
I
had
forgotten
to
speak
to
Lupin
about
the
letter
I
received
from
Mr.
Mutlar
,
senr
.
I
broached
the
subject
to
Lupin
in
the
evening
,
having
first
consulted
Carrie
.
Lupin
was
riveted
to
the
Financial
News
,
as
if
he
had
been
a
born
capitalist
,
and
I
said
:
"
Pardon
me
a
moment
,
Lupin
,
how
is
it
you
have
not
been
to
the
Mutlars
'
any
day
this
week
?
"
Lupin
answered
:
"
I
told
you
!
I
can
not
stand
old
Mutlar
.
"
I
said
:
"
Mr.
Mutlar
writes
to
me
to
say
pretty
plainly
that
he
can
not
stand
you
!
"
