He
was
brought
in
,
Gowing
entering
at
the
same
time
.
Mr.
Murray
Posh
was
a
tall
,
fat
young
man
,
and
was
evidently
of
a
very
nervous
disposition
,
as
he
subsequently
confessed
he
would
never
go
in
a
hansom
cab
,
nor
would
he
enter
a
four-wheeler
until
the
driver
had
first
got
on
the
box
with
his
reins
in
his
hands
.
On
being
introduced
,
Gowing
,
with
his
usual
want
of
tact
,
said
:
"
Any
relation
to
'
Posh
's
three-shilling
hats
'
?
"
Mr.
Posh
replied
:
"
Yes
;
but
please
understand
I
do
n't
try
on
hats
myself
.
I
take
no
active
part
in
the
business
.
"
I
replied
:
"
I
wish
I
had
a
business
like
it
.
"
Mr
Posh
seemed
pleased
,
and
gave
a
long
but
most
interesting
history
of
the
extraordinary
difficulties
in
the
manufacture
of
cheap
hats
.
Murray
Posh
evidently
knew
Daisy
Mutlar
very
intimately
from
the
way
he
was
talking
of
her
;
and
Frank
said
to
Lupin
once
,
laughingly
:
"
If
you
do
n't
look
out
,
Posh
will
cut
you
out
!
"
When
they
had
all
gone
,
I
referred
to
this
flippant
conversation
;
and
Lupin
said
,
sarcastically
:
"
A
man
who
is
jealous
has
no
respect
for
himself
.
A
man
who
would
be
jealous
of
an
elephant
like
Murray
Posh
could
only
have
a
contempt
for
himself
.
I
know
Daisy
.
She
would
wait
ten
years
for
me
,
as
I
said
before
;
in
fact
,
if
necessary
,
she
would
wait
twenty
years
for
me
.

February
18
.
--
Carrie
has
several
times
recently
called
attention
to
the
thinness
of
my
hair
at
the
top
of
my
head
,
and
recommended
me
to
get
it
seen
to
.
I
was
this
morning
trying
to
look
at
it
by
the
aid
of
a
small
hand-glass
,
when
somehow
my
elbow
caught
against
the
edge
of
the
chest
of
drawers
and
knocked
the
glass
out
of
my
hand
and
smashed
it
.
Carrie
was
in
an
awful
way
about
it
,
as
she
is
rather
absurdly
superstitious
.
To
make
matters
worse
,
my
large
photograph
in
the
drawing-room
fell
during
the
night
,
and
the
glass
cracked
.
Carrie
said
:
"
Mark
my
words
,
Charles
,
some
misfortune
is
about
to
happen
.
"
I
said
:
"
Nonsense
,
dear
.
"
In
the
evening
Lupin
arrived
home
early
,
and
seemed
a
little
agitated
.
I
said
:
"
What
's
up
,
my
boy
?
"
He
hesitated
a
good
deal
,
and
then
said
:
"
You
know
those
Parachikka
Chlorates
I
advised
you
to
invest
#
20
in
?
"
I
replied
:
"
Yes
,
they
are
all
right
,
I
trust
?
"
He
replied
:
"
Well
,
no
!
To
the
surprise
of
everybody
,
they
have
utterly
collapsed
.
"
My
breath
was
so
completely
taken
away
,
I
could
say
nothing
.
Carrie
looked
at
me
,
and
said
:
"
What
did
I
tell
you
?
"
Lupin
,
after
a
while
,
said
:
"
However
,
you
are
specially
fortunate
.
I
received
an
early
tip
,
and
sold
out
yours
immediately
,
and
was
fortunate
to
get
#
2
for
them
.
So
you
get
something
after
all
.
"
I
gave
a
sigh
of
relief
.
I
said
:
"
I
was
not
so
sanguine
as
to
suppose
,
as
you
predicted
,
that
I
should
get
six
or
eight
times
the
amount
of
my
investment
;
still
a
profit
of
#
2
is
a
good
percentage
for
such
a
short
time
.
