His
letter
was
:
"
Sir
--
I
totally
disagree
with
you
.
Your
son
,
in
the
course
of
five
minutes
'
conversation
,
displayed
more
intelligence
than
your
firm
has
done
during
the
last
five
years
.
--
Yours
faithfully
,
Gilbert
E.
Gillam
O.
Crowbillon
.

What
am
I
to
do
?
Here
is
a
letter
that
I
dare
not
show
to
Mr.
Perkupp
,
and
would
not
show
to
Lupin
for
anything
.
The
crisis
had
yet
to
come
;
for
Lupin
arrived
,
and
,
opening
his
letter
,
showed
a
cheque
for
#
25
as
a
commission
for
the
recommendation
of
Mr.
Crowbillon
,
whose
custom
to
Mr.
Perkupp
is
evidently
lost
for
ever
.
Cummings
and
Gowing
both
called
,
and
both
took
Lupin
's
part
.
Cummings
went
so
far
as
to
say
that
Lupin
would
make
a
name
yet
.
I
suppose
I
was
melancholy
,
for
I
could
only
ask
:
"
Yes
,
but
what
sort
of
a
name
?

I
told
Mr.
Perkupp
the
contents
of
the
letter
in
a
modified
form
,
but
Mr

Perkupp
said
:
"
Pray
do
n't
discuss
the
matter
;
it
is
at
an
end
.
Your
son
will
bring
his
punishment
upon
himself
.
"
I
went
home
in
the
evening
,
thinking
of
the
hopeless
future
of
Lupin
.
I
found
him
in
most
extravagant
spirits
and
in
evening
dress
.
He
threw
a
letter
on
the
table
for
me
to
read
.
585
To
my
amazement
,
I
read
that
Gylterson
and
Sons
had
absolutely
engaged
Lupin
at
a
salary
of
#
200
a
year
,
with
other
advantages
.
I
read
the
letter
through
three
times
and
thought
it
must
have
been
for
me
.
But
there
it
was
--
Lupin
Pooter
--
plain
enough
.
I
was
silent
.
Lupin
said
:
"
What
price
Perkupp
now
?
You
take
my
tip
,
Guv
.
--
'
off
'
with
Perkupp
and
freeze
on
to
Gylterson
,
the
firm
of
the
future
!
Perkupp
's
firm
?
The
stagnant
dummies
have
been
standing
still
for
years
,
and
now
are
moving
back
.
I
want
to
go
on
.
In
fact
I
must
go
off
,
as
I
am
dining
with
the
Murray
Poshs
to-night
.
"
586
In
the
exuberance
of
his
spirits
he
hit
his
hat
with
his
stick
,
gave
a
loud
war
"
Whoo-oop
,
"
jumped
over
a
chair
,
and
took
the
liberty
of
rumpling
my
hair
all
over
my
forehead
,
and
bounced
out
of
the
room
,
giving
me
no
chance
of
reminding
him
of
his
age
and
the
respect
which
was
due
to
his
parent
.
Gowing
and
Cummings
came
in
the
evening
,
and
positively
cheered
me
up
with
congratulations
respecting
Lupin
.
587
Gowing
said
:
"
I
always
said
he
would
get
on
,
and
,
take
my
word
,
he
has
more
in
his
head
than
we
three
put
together
.

--
We
went
to
Sutton
after
dinner
to
have
meat-tea
with
Mr.
and
Mrs.
James
.
I
had
no
appetite
,
having
dined
well
at
two
,
and
the
entire
evening
was
spoiled
by
little
Percy
--
their
only
son
--
who
seems
to
me
to
be
an
utterly
spoiled
child
.
590
Two
or
three
times
he
came
up
to
me
and
deliberately
kicked
my
shins
.
He
hurt
me
once
so
much
that
the
tears
came
into
my
eyes
.
I
gently
remonstrated
with
him
,
and
Mrs.
James
said
:
"
Please
do
n't
scold
him
;
I
do
not
believe
in
being
too
severe
with
young
children
.
You
spoil
their
character
.
