I
do
n't
think
I
was
ever
so
surprised
in
my
life
,
and
had
only
sufficient
breath
to
inform
him
that
I
had
received
a
private
invitation
,
to
which
he
answered
that
he
was
perfectly
well
aware
of
that
;
but
that
the
invitation
did
n't
include
eatables
and
drinkables
.
A
gentleman
who
was
standing
at
the
bar
corroborated
the
waiter
's
statement
,
and
assured
me
it
was
quite
correct
.
The
waiter
said
he
was
extremely
sorry
if
I
had
been
under
any
misapprehension
;
but
it
was
not
his
fault
.
Of
course
there
was
nothing
to
be
done
but
to
pay
.
So
,
after
turning
out
my
pockets
,
I
just
managed
to
scrape
up
sufficient
,
all
but
nine
shillings
;
but
the
manager
,
on
my
giving
my
card
to
him
,
said
:
"
That
's
all
right
.
"
I
do
n't
think
I
ever
felt
more
humiliated
in
my
life
,
and
I
determined
to
keep
this
misfortune
from
Carrie
,
for
it
would
entirely
destroy
the
pleasant
evening
she
was
enjoying
.
I
felt
there
was
no
more
enjoyment
for
me
that
evening
,
and
it
being
late
,
I
sought
Carrie
and
Mrs.
Lupkin
.
Carrie
said
she
was
quite
ready
to
go
,
and
Mrs.
Lupkin
,
as
we
were
wishing
her
"
Good-night
,
"
asked
Carrie
and
myself
if
we
ever
paid
a
visit
to
Southend
?
On
my
replying
that
I
had
n't
been
there
for
many
years
,
she
very
kindly
said
:
"
Well
,
why
do
n't
you
come
down
and
stay
at
our
place
?
"
As
her
invitation
was
so
pressing
,
and
observing
that
Carrie
wished
to
go
,
we
promised
we
would
visit
her
the
next
Saturday
week
,
and
stay
till
Monday
.
Mrs.
Lupkin
said
she
would
write
to
us
tomorrow
,
giving
us
the
address
and
particulars
of
trains
,
etc.
.
When
we
got
outside
the
Drill
Hall
it
was
raining
so
hard
that
the
roads
resembled
canals
,
and
I
need
hardly
say
we
had
great
difficulty
in
getting
a
cabman
to
take
us
to
Holloway
.
After
waiting
a
bit
,
a
man
said
he
would
drive
us
,
anyhow
,
as
far
as
"
The
Angel
,
"
at
Islington
,
and
we
could
easily
get
another
cab
from
there
.
It
was
a
tedious
journey
;
the
rain
was
beating
against
the
windows
and
trickling
down
the
inside
of
the
cab
.
When
we
arrived
at
"
The
Angel
"
the
horse
seemed
tired
out
.
Carrie
got
out
and
ran
into
a
doorway
,
and
when
I
came
to
pay
,
to
my
absolute
horror
I
remembered
I
had
no
money
,
nor
had
Carrie
.
I
explained
to
the
cabman
how
we
were
situated
.
Never
in
my
life
have
I
ever
been
so
insulted
;
the
cabman
,
who
was
a
rough
bully
and
to
my
thinking
not
sober
,
called
me
every
name
he
could
lay
his
tongue
to
,
and
positively
seized
me
by
the
beard
,
which
he
pulled
till
the
tears
came
into
my
eyes
.
I
took
the
number
of
a
policeman
(
who
witnessed
the
assault
)
for
not
taking
the
man
in
charge
.
The
policeman
said
he
could
n't
interfere
,
that
he
had
seen
no
assault
,
and
that
people
should
not
ride
in
cabs
without
money
.
We
had
to
walk
home
in
the
pouring
rain
,
nearly
two
miles
,
and
when
I
got
in
I
put
down
the
conversation
I
had
with
the
cabman
,
word
for
word
,
as
I
intend
writing
to
the
Telegraph
for
the
purpose
of
proposing
that
cabs
should
be
driven
only
by
men
under
Government
control
,
to
prevent
civilians
being
subjected
to
the
disgraceful
insult
and
outrage
that
I
had
had
to
endure
.

No
water
in
our
cistern
again
.
Sent
for
Putley
,
who
said
he
would
soon
remedy
that
,
the
cistern
being
zinc
.

Water
all
right
again
in
the
cistern
.
Mrs.
James
,
of
Sutton
,
called
in
the
afternoon
.
She
and
Carrie
draped
the
mantelpiece
in
the
drawing-room
,
and
put
little
toy
spiders
,
frogs
and
beetles
all
over
it
,
as
Mrs.
James
says
it
's
quite
the
fashion
.
It
was
Mrs.
James
'
suggestion
,
and
of
course
Carrie
always
does
what
Mrs.
James
suggests
.
For
my
part
,
I
preferred
the
mantelpiece
as
it
was
;
but
there
,
I
'm
a
plain
man
,
and
do
n't
pretend
to
be
in
the
fashion
.

--
Our
next-door
neighbour
,
Mr.
Griffin
,
called
,
and
in
a
rather
offensive
tone
accused
me
,
or
"
someone
,
"
of
boring
a
hole
in
his
cistern
and
letting
out
his
water
to
supply
our
cistern
,
which
adjoined
his
.
He
said
he
should
have
his
repaired
,
and
send
us
in
the
bill
.
