--
Cummings
called
,
hobbling
in
with
a
stick
,
saying
he
had
been
on
his
back
for
a
week
.
It
appears
he
was
trying
to
shut
his
bedroom
door
,
which
is
situated
just
at
the
top
of
the
staircase
,
and
unknown
to
him
a
piece
of
cork
the
dog
had
been
playing
with
had
got
between
the
door
,
and
prevented
it
shutting
;
and
in
pulling
the
door
hard
,
to
give
it
an
extra
slam
,
the
handle
came
off
in
his
hands
,
and
he
fell
backwards
downstairs
.
On
hearing
this
,
Lupin
suddenly
jumped
up
from
the
couch
and
rushed
out
of
the
room
sideways
.
Cummings
looked
very
indignant
,
and
remarked
it
was
very
poor
fun
a
man
nearly
breaking
his
back
;
and
though
I
had
my
suspicions
that
Lupin
was
laughing
,
I
assured
Cummings
that
he
had
only
run
out
to
open
the
door
to
a
friend
he
expected
.
Cummings
said
this
was
the
second
time
he
had
been
laid
up
,
and
we
had
never
sent
to
inquire
.
I
said
I
knew
nothing
about
it
.
Cummings
said
:
"
It
was
mentioned
in
the
Bicycle
News
.

--
I
have
of
late
frequently
noticed
Carrie
rubbing
her
nails
a
good
deal
with
an
instrument
,
and
on
asking
her
what
she
was
doing
,
she
replied
:
"
Oh
,
I
'm
going
in
for
manicuring
.
It
's
all
the
fashion
now
.
"
I
said
:
"
I
suppose
Mrs.
James
introduced
that
into
your
head
.
"
Carrie
laughingly
replied
:
"
Yes
;
but
everyone
does
it
now
.
"
I
wish
Mrs.
James
would
n't
come
to
the
house
.
Whenever
she
does
she
always
introduces
some
new-fandangled
rubbish
into
Carrie
's
head
.
One
of
these
days
I
feel
sure
I
shall
tell
her
she
's
not
welcome
.
I
am
sure
it
was
Mrs.
James
who
put
Carrie
up
to
writing
on
dark
slate-coloured
paper
with
white
ink
.
Nonsense
!
April

--
Received
a
letter
from
Mrs
Lupkin
,
of
Southend
,
telling
us
the
train
to
come
by
on
Saturday
,
and
hoping
we
will
keep
our
promise
to
stay
with
her
.
The
letter
concluded
:
"
You
must
come
and
stay
at
our
house
;
we
shall
charge
you
half
what
you
will
have
to
pay
at
the
Royal
,
and
the
view
is
every
bit
as
good
.
"
Looking
at
the
address
at
the
top
of
the
note-paper
,
I
found
it
was
"
Lupkin
's
Family
and
Commercial
Hotel
.
"
I
wrote
a
note
,
saying
we
were
compelled
to
"
decline
her
kind
invitation
.
"
Carrie
thought
this
very
satirical
,
and
to
the
point
.
By-the-by
,
I
will
never
choose
another
cloth
pattern
at
night
.
I
ordered
a
new
suit
of
dittos
for
the
garden
at
Edwards
'
,
and
chose
the
pattern
by
gaslight
,
and
they
seemed
to
be
a
quiet
pepper-and-salt
mixture
with
white
stripes
down
.
They
came
home
this
morning
,
and
,
to
my
horror
,
I
found
it
was
quite
a
flash-looking
suit
.
There
was
a
lot
of
green
with
bright
yellow-coloured
stripes
.
I
tried
on
the
coat
,
and
was
annoyed
to
find
Carrie
giggling
.
She
said
:
"
What
mixture
did
you
say
you
asked
for
?
"
