"
Gowing
,
turning
to
Carrie
,
said
:
"
I
suppose
letters
sometimes
miscarry
,
do
n't
they
,
Mrs.
Carrie
?
"
Cummings
sharply
said
:
"
This
is
not
a
time
for
joking
.
I
had
no
notice
of
the
party
being
put
off
.
"
Gowing
replied
:
"
I
told
Pooter
in
my
note
to
tell
you
,
as
I
was
in
a
hurry
.
However
,
I
'll
inquire
at
the
post-office
,
and
we
must
meet
again
at
my
place
.
"
I
added
that
I
hoped
he
would
be
present
at
the
next
meeting
.
Carrie
roared
at
this
,
and
even
Cummings
could
not
help
laughing
.

February
10
,
Sunday
.
--
Contrary
to
my
wishes
,
Carrie
allowed
Lupin
to
persuade
her
to
take
her
for
a
drive
in
the
afternoon
in
his
trap
.
I
quite
disapprove
of
driving
on
a
Sunday
,
but
I
did
not
like
to
trust
Carrie
alone
with
Lupin
,
so
I
offered
to
go
too
.
Lupin
said
:
"
Now
,
that
is
nice
of
you
,
Guv.
,
but
you
wo
n't
mind
sitting
on
the
back-seat
of
the
cart
?
"
423
Lupin
proceeded
to
put
on
a
bright-blue
coat
that
seemed
miles
too
large
for
him
.
Carrie
said
it
wanted
taking
in
considerably
at
the
back
.
Lupin
said
:
"
Have
n't
you
seen
a
box-coat
before
?
You
ca
n't
drive
in
anything
else
.

He
May
wear
what
he
likes
in
the
future
,
for
I
shall
never
drive
with
him
again
.
His
conduct
was
shocking
.
When
we
passed
Highgate
Archway
,
he
tried
to
pass
everything
and
everybody
.
425
He
shouted
to
respectable
people
who
were
walking
quietly
in
the
road
to
get
out
of
the
way
;
he
flicked
at
the
horse
of
an
old
man
who
was
riding
,
causing
it
to
rear
;
and
,
as
I
had
to
ride
backwards
,
I
was
compelled
to
face
a
gang
of
roughs
in
a
donkey-cart
,
whom
Lupin
had
chaffed
,
and
who
turned
and
followed
us
for
nearly
a
mile
,
bellowing
,
indulging
in
coarse
jokes
and
laughter
,
to
say
nothing
of
occasionally
pelting
us
with
orange-peel
.
426
Lupin
's
excuse
--
that
the
Prince
of
Wales
would
have
to
put
up
with
the
same
sort
of
thing
if
he
drove
to
the
Derby
--
was
of
little
consolation
to
either
Carrie
or
myself
.
Frank
Mutlar
called
in
the
evening
,
and
Lupin
went
out
with
him
.

--
Feeling
a
little
concerned
about
Lupin
,
I
mustered
up
courage
to
speak
to
Mr.
Perkupp
about
him
.
Mr.
Perkupp
has
always
been
most
kind
to
me
,
so
I
told
him
everything
,
including
yesterday
's
adventure
.
Mr.
Perkupp
kindly
replied
:
"
There
is
no
necessity
for
you
to
be
anxious
,
Mr.
Pooter
.
It
would
be
impossible
for
a
son
of
such
good
parents
to
turn
out
erroneously
.
Remember
he
is
young
,
and
will
soon
get
older
.
I
wish
we
could
find
room
for
him
in
this
firm
.
"
The
advice
of
this
good
man
takes
loads
off
my
mind
.
In
the
evening
Lupin
came
in
.

After
our
little
supper
,
he
said
:
"
My
dear
parents
,
I
have
some
news
,
which
I
fear
will
affect
you
considerably
.
"
I
felt
a
qualm
come
over
me
,
and
said
nothing
.
Lupin
then
said
:
"
It
May
distress
you
--
in
fact
,
I
'm
sure
it
will
--
but
this
afternoon
I
have
given
up
my
pony
and
trap
for
ever
.
429
"
It
May
seem
absurd
,
but
I
was
so
pleased
,
I
immediately
opened
a
bottle
of
port
.
Gowing
dropped
in
just
in
time
,
bringing
with
him
a
large
sheet
,
with
a
print
of
a
tailless
donkey
,
which
he
fastened
against
the
wall
.
He
then
produced
several
separate
tails
,
and
we
spent
the
remainder
of
the
evening
trying
blindfolded
to
pin
a
tail
on
in
the
proper
place
.
My
sides
positively
ached
with
laughter
when
I
went
to
bed
.

February
12
.
--
In
the
evening
I
spoke
to
Lupin
about
his
engagement
with
Daisy
Mutlar
.
I
asked
if
he
had
heard
from
her
.
He
replied
:
"
No
;
she
promised
that
old
windbag
of
a
father
of
hers
that
she
would
not
communicate
with
me
.
I
see
Frank
Mutlar
,
of
course
;
in
fact
,
he
said
he
might
call
again
this
evening
.
"
Frank
called
,
but
said
he
could
not
stop
,
as
he
had
a
friend
waiting
outside
for
him
,
named
Murray
Posh
,
adding
he
was
quite
a
swell
.
Carrie
asked
Frank
to
bring
him
in
.
