At
the
office
,
the
new
and
very
young
clerk
Pitt
,
who
was
very
impudent
to
me
a
week
or
so
ago
,
was
late
again
.
I
told
him
it
would
be
my
duty
to
inform
Mr.
Perkupp
,
the
principal
.
To
my
surprise
,
Pitt
apologised
most
humbly
and
in
a
most
gentlemanly
fashion
.
I
was
unfeignedly
pleased
to
notice
this
improvement
in
his
manner
towards
me
,
and
told
him
I
would
look
over
his
unpunctuality
.
Passing
down
the
room
an
hour
later
.
I
received
a
smart
smack
in
the
face
from
a
rolled-up
ball
of
hard
foolscap
.
I
turned
round
sharply
,
but
all
the
clerks
were
apparently
riveted
to
their
work
.
I
am
not
a
rich
man
,
but
I
would
give
half-a-sovereign
to
know
whether
that
was
thrown
by
accident
or
design
.
Went
home
early
and
bought
some
more
enamel
paint
--
black
this
time
--
and
spent
the
evening
touching
up
the
fender
,
picture-frames
,
and
an
old
pair
of
boots
,
making
them
look
as
good
as
new
.
Also
painted
Gowing
's
walking-stick
,
which
he
left
behind
,
and
made
it
look
like
ebony
.
April

,
Sunday
.
--
Woke
up
with
a
fearful
headache
and
strong
symptoms
of
a
cold
.
Carrie
,
with
a
perversity
which
is
just
like
her
,
said
it
was
"
painter
's
colic
,
"
and
was
the
result
of
my
having
spent
the
last
few
days
with
my
nose
over
a
paint-pot
.
I
told
her
firmly
that
I
knew
a
great
deal
better
what
was
the
matter
with
me
than
she
did
.
I
had
got
a
chill
,
and
decided
to
have
a
bath
as
hot
as
I
could
bear
it
.
Bath
ready
--
could
scarcely
bear
it
so
hot
.
I
persevered
,
and
got
in
;
very
hot
,
but
very
acceptable
.
I
lay
still
for
some
time
.
On
moving
my
hand
above
the
surface
of
the
water
,
I
experienced
the
greatest
fright
I
ever
received
in
the
whole
course
of
my
life
;
for
imagine
my
horror
on
discovering
my
hand
,
as
I
thought
,
full
of
blood
.
My
first
thought
was
that
I
had
ruptured
an
artery
,
and
was
bleeding
to
death
,
and
should
be
discovered
,
later
on
,
looking
like
a
second
Marat
,
as
I
remember
seeing
him
in
Madame
Tussaud
's
My
second
thought
was
to
ring
the
bell
,
but
remembered
there
was
no
bell
to
ring
.
My
third
was
,
that
there
was
nothing
but
the
enamel
paint
,
which
had
dissolved
with
boiling
water
.
I
stepped
out
of
the
bath
,
perfectly
red
all
over
,
resembling
the
Red
Indians
I
have
seen
depicted
at
an
East
--
End
theatre
.
I
determined
not
to
say
a
word
to
Carrie
,
but
to
tell
Farmerson
to
come
on
Monday
and
paint
the
bath
white
.
April
30
.
--
Perfectly
astounded
at
receiving
an
invitation
for
Carrie
and
myself
from
the
Lord
and
Lady
Mayoress
to
the
Mansion
House
,
to
"
meet
the
Representatives
of
Trades
and
Commerce
.
"
My
heart
beat
like
that
of
a
schoolboy
's
.
Carrie
and
I
read
the
invitation
over
two
or
three
times
.
I
could
scarcely
eat
my
breakfast
.
I
said
--
and
I
felt
it
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
--
"
Carrie
darling
,
I
was
a
proud
man
when
I
led
you
down
the
aisle
of
the
church
on
our
wedding-day
;
that
pride
will
be
equalled
,
if
not
surpassed
,
when
I
lead
my
dear
,
pretty
wife
up
to
the
Lord
and
Lady
Mayoress
at
the
Mansion
House
.
"
I
saw
the
tears
in
Carrie
's
eyes
,
and
she
said
:
"
Charlie
dear
,
it
is
I
who
have
to
be
proud
of
you
.
And
I
am
very
,
very
proud
of
you
.
You
have
called
me
pretty
;
and
as
long
as
I
am
pretty
in
your
eyes
,
I
am
happy
.
You
,
dear
old
Charlie
,
are
not
handsome
,
but
you
are
good
,
which
is
far
more
noble
.
"
I
gave
her
a
kiss
,
and
she
said
:
"
I
wonder
if
there
will
be
any
dancing
?
I
have
not
danced
with
you
for
years
.
"
I
can
not
tell
what
induced
me
to
do
it
,
but
I
seized
her
round
the
waist
,
and
we
were
silly
enough
to
be
executing
a
wild
kind
of
polka
when
Sarah
entered
,
grinning
,
and
said
:
"
There
is
a
man
,
mum
,
at
the
door
who
wants
to
know
if
you
want
any
good
coals
.
"
Most
annoyed
at
this
.
Spent
the
evening
in
answering
,
and
tearing
up
again
,
the
reply
to
the
Mansion
House
,
having
left
word
with
Sarah
if
Gowing
or
Cummings
called
we
were
not
at
home
.
Must
consult
Mr.
Perkupp
how
to
answer
the
Lord
Mayor
's
invitation
.
May
1
.
--
Carrie
said
:
"
I
should
like
to
send
mother
the
invitation
to
look
at
.
"
I
consented
,
as
soon
as
I
had
answered
it
.
I
told
Mr.
Perkupp
,
at
the
office
,
with
a
feeling
of
pride
,
that
we
had
received
an
invitation
to
the
Mansion
House
;
and
he
said
,
to
my
astonishment
,
that
he
himself
gave
in
my
name
to
the
Lord
Mayor
's
secretary
.
I
felt
this
rather
discounted
the
value
of
the
invitation
,
but
I
thanked
him
;
and
in
reply
to
me
,
he
described
how
I
was
to
answer
it
.
I
felt
the
reply
was
too
simple
;
but
of
course
Mr.
Perkupp
knows
best
.
May
2
.
--
Sent
my
dress-coat
and
trousers
to
the
little
tailor
's
round
the
corner
,
to
have
the
creases
taken
out
.
Told
Gowing
not
to
call
next
Monday
,
as
we
were
going
to
the
Mansion
House
.
Sent
similar
note
to
Cummings
.
