Lupin
's
rooms
looked
very
nice
;
but
the
dinner
was
,
I
thought
,
a
little
too
grand
,
especially
as
he
commenced
with
champagne
straight
off
.
I
also
think
Lupin
might
have
told
us
that
he
and
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Murray
Posh
and
Miss
Posh
were
going
to
put
on
full
evening
dress
.
Knowing
that
the
dinner
was
only
for
us
six
,
we
never
dreamed
it
would
be
a
full
dress
affair
.
I
had
no
appetite
.
It
was
quite
twenty
minutes
past
eight
before
we
sat
down
to
dinner
.
At
six
I
could
have
eaten
a
hearty
meal
.
I
had
a
bit
of
bread-and-butter
at
that
hour
,
feeling
famished
,
and
I
expect
that
partly
spoiled
my
appetite
.
We
were
introduced
to
Miss
Posh
,
whom
Lupin
called
"
Lillie
Girl
,
"
as
if
he
had
known
her
all
his
life
.
She
was
very
tall
,
rather
plain
,
and
I
thought
she
was
a
little
painted
round
the
eyes
.
I
hope
I
am
wrong
;
but
she
had
such
fair
hair
,
and
yet
her
eyebrows
were
black
.
She
looked
about
thirty
.
I
did
not
like
the
way
she
kept
giggling
and
giving
Lupin
smacks
and
pinching
him
.
Then
her
laugh
was
a
sort
of
a
scream
that
went
right
through
my
ears
,
all
the
more
irritating
because
there
was
nothing
to
laugh
at
.
In
fact
,
Carrie
and
I
were
not
at
all
prepossessed
with
her
.
They
all
smoked
cigarettes
after
dinner
,
including
Miss
Posh
,
who
startled
Carrie
by
saying
:
"
Do
n't
you
smoke
,
dear
?
"
I
answered
for
Carrie
,
and
said
:
"
Mrs.
Charles
Pooter
has
not
arrived
at
it
yet
,
"
whereupon
Miss
Posh
gave
one
of
her
piercing
laughs
again
.
Mrs.
Posh
sang
a
dozen
songs
at
least
,
and
I
can
only
repeat
what
I
have
said
before
--
she
does
not
sing
in
tune
;
but
Lupin
sat
by
the
side
of
the
piano
,
gazing
into
her
eyes
the
whole
time
.
If
I
had
been
Mr.
Posh
,
I
think
I
should
have
had
something
to
say
about
it
.
Mr.
Posh
made
himself
very
agreeable
to
us
,
and
eventually
sent
us
home
in
his
carriage
,
which
I
thought
most
kind
.
He
is
evidently
very
rich
,
for
Mrs.
Posh
had
on
some
beautiful
jewellery
.
She
told
Carrie
her
necklace
,
which
her
husband
gave
her
as
a
birthday
present
,
alone
cost
#
300
.
Mr.
Posh
said
he
had
a
great
belief
in
Lupin
,
and
thought
he
would
make
rapid
way
in
the
world
.
I
could
not
help
thinking
of
the
#
600
Mr.
Posh
lost
over
the
Parachikka
Chlorates
through
Lupin
's
advice
.
During
the
evening
I
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
Lupin
,
and
expressed
a
hope
that
Mr.
Posh
was
not
living
beyond
his
means
.
Lupin
sneered
,
and
said
Mr.
Posh
was
worth
thousands
.
"
Posh
's
one-price
hat
"
was
a
household
word
in
Birmingham
,
Manchester
,
Liverpool
,
and
all
the
big
towns
throughout
England
.
Lupin
further
informed
me
that
Mr.
Posh
was
opening
branch
establishments
at
New
York
,
Sydney
,
and
Melbourne
,
and
was
negotiating
for
Kimberley
and
Johannesburg
.
I
said
I
was
pleased
to
hear
it
.
Lupin
said
:
"
Why
,
he
has
settled
over
#
10,000
on
Daisy
,
and
the
same
amount
on
'
Lillie
Girl
.
'
If
at
any
time
I
wanted
a
little
capital
,
he
would
put
up
a
couple
of
'
thou
'
at
a
day
's
notice
,
and
could
buy
up
Perkupp
's
firm
over
his
head
at
any
moment
with
ready
cash
.
