Once
she
quite
lost
her
head
.
I
saw
someone
who
looked
like
Franching
,
from
Peckham
,
and
was
moving
towards
him
when
she
seized
me
by
the
coat-tails
,
and
said
quite
loudly
:
"
Do
n't
leave
me
,
"
which
caused
an
elderly
gentleman
,
in
a
court-suit
,
and
a
chain
round
him
,
and
two
ladies
,
to
burst
out
laughing
.
82
There
was
an
immense
crowd
in
the
supper-room
,
and
,
my
stars
!
it
was
a
splendid
supper
--
any
amount
of
champagne
.
83
Carrie
made
a
most
hearty
supper
,
for
which
I
was
pleased
;
for
I
sometimes
think
she
is
not
strong
.
There
was
scarcely
a
dish
she
did
not
taste
.
I
was
so
thirsty
,
I
could
not
eat
much
.
Receiving
a
sharp
slap
on
the
shoulder
,
I
turned
,
and
,
to
my
amazement
,
saw
Farmerson
,
our
ironmonger
.
He
said
,
in
the
most
familiar
way
:
"
This
is
better
than
Brickfield
Terrace
,
eh
?
"
I
simply
looked
at
him
,
and
said
coolly
:
"
I
never
expected
to
see
you
here
.
"
He
said
,
with
a
loud
,
coarse
laugh
:
"
I
like
that
--
if
you
,
why
not
me
?
"
I
replied
:
"
Certainly
,
"
I
wish
I
could
have
thought
of
something
better
to
say
.
He
said
:
"
Can
I
get
your
good
lady
anything
?
"
Carrie
said
:
"
No
,
I
thank
you
,
"
for
which
I
was
pleased
.
I
said
,
by
way
of
reproof
to
him
:
"
You
never
sent
today
to
paint
the
bath
,
as
I
requested
.
"
Farmerson
said
:
"
Pardon
me
,
Mr.
Pooter
,
no
shop
when
we
're
in
company
,
please
.

Before
I
could
think
of
a
reply
,
one
of
the
sheriffs
,
in
full
Court
costume
,
slapped
Farmerson
on
the
back
and
hailed
him
as
an
old
friend
,
and
asked
him
to
dine
with
him
at
his
lodge
.
I
was
astonished
.
For
full
five
minutes
they
stood
roaring
with
laughter
,
and
stood
digging
each
other
in
the
ribs
.
They
kept
telling
each
other
they
did
n't
look
a
day
older
.
They
began
embracing
each
other
and
drinking
champagne
.
85
To
think
that
a
man
who
mends
our
scraper
should
know
any
member
of
our
aristocracy
!
I
was
just
moving
with
Carrie
,
when
Farmerson
seized
me
rather
roughly
by
the
collar
,
and
addressing
the
sheriff
,
said
:
"
Let
me
introduce
my
neighbour
,
Pooter
.
"
He
did
not
even
say
"
Mister
.
"
The
sheriff
handed
me
a
glass
of
champagne
.
I
felt
,
after
all
,
it
was
a
great
honour
to
drink
a
glass
of
wine
with
him
,
and
I
told
him
so
.
We
stood
chatting
for
some
time
,
and
at
last
I
said
:
"
You
must
excuse
me
now
if
I
join
Mrs.
Pooter
.
"
When
I
approached
her
,
she
said
:
"
Do
n't
let
me
take
you
away
from
friends
.
I
am
quite
happy
standing
here
alone
in
a
crowd
,
knowing
nobody
!
"
86
As
it
takes
two
to
make
a
quarrel
,
and
as
it
was
neither
the
time
nor
the
place
for
it
,
I
gave
my
arm
to
Carrie
,
and
said
:
"
I
hope
my
darling
little
wife
will
dance
with
me
,
if
only
for
the
sake
of
saying
we
had
danced
at
the
Mansion
House
as
guests
of
the
Lord
Mayor
.
"
Finding
the
dancing
after
supper
was
less
formal
,
and
knowing
how
much
Carrie
used
to
admire
my
dancing
in
the
days
gone
by
,
I
put
my
arm
round
her
waist
and
we
commenced
a
waltz
.
87
A
most
unfortunate
accident
occurred
.
I
had
got
on
a
new
pair
of
boots
.
Foolishly
,
I
had
omitted
to
take
Carrie
's
advice
;
namely
,
to
scratch
the
soles
of
them
with
the
points
of
the
scissors
or
to
put
a
little
wet
on
them
.
I
had
scarcely
started
when
,
like
lightning
,
my
left
foot
slipped
away
and
I
came
down
,
the
side
of
my
head
striking
the
floor
with
such
violence
that
for
a
second
or
two
I
did
not
know
what
had
happened

88
I
needly
hardly
say
that
Carrie
fell
with
me
with
equal
violence
,
breaking
the
comb
in
her
hair
and
grazing
her
elbow
.
89
There
was
a
roar
of
laughter
,
which
was
immediately
checked
when
people
found
that
we
had
really
hurt
ourselves
.
A
gentleman
assisted
Carrie
to
a
seat
,
and
I
expressed
myself
pretty
strongly
on
the
danger
of
having
a
plain
polished
floor
with
no
carpet
or
drugget
to
prevent
people
slipping
.
The
gentleman
,
who
said
his
name
was
Darwitts
,
insisted
on
escorting
Carrie
to
have
a
glass
of
wine
,
an
invitation
which
I
was
pleased
to
allow
Carrie
to
accept
.
90
I
followed
,
and
met
Farmerson
,
who
immediately
said
,
in
his
loud
voice
"
Oh
,
are
you
the
one
who
went
down
?
"
