The Diary of a Nobody
·

Captain
Welcut
received
us,
saying
we
were
rather
late,
but
that
it
was
better
late
than
never.
He
seemed
a
very
good-looking
gentleman
though,
as
Carrie
remarked,
“rather
short
for
an
officer.”
He
begged
to
be
excused
for
leaving
us,
as
he
was
engaged
for
a
dance,
and
hoped
we
should
make
ourselves
at
home.
Carrie
took
my
arm
and
we
walked
round
the
rooms
two
or
three
times
and
watched
the
people
dancing.
I
couldn’t
find
a
single
person
I
knew,
but
attributed
it
to
most
of
them
being
in
uniform.
As
we
were
entering
the
supper-room
I
received
a
slap
on
the
shoulder,
followed
by
a
welcome
shake
of
the
hand.
I
said:
“Mr.
Padge,
I
believe;”
he
replied,
“That’s
right.”
I
gave
Carrie
a
chair,
and
seated
by
her
was
a
lady
who
made
herself
at
home
with
Carrie
at
once.
There
was
a
very
liberal
repast
on
the
tables,
plenty
of
champagne,
claret,
etc.,
and,
in
fact,
everything
seemed
to
be
done
regardless
of
expense.
Mr.
Padge
is
a
man
that,
I
admit,
I
have
no
particular
liking
for,
but
I
felt
so
glad
to
come
across
someone
I
knew,
that
I
asked
him
to
sit
at
our
table,
and
I
must
say
that
for
a
short
fat
man
he
looked
well
in
uniform,
although
I
think
his
tunic
was
rather
baggy
in
the
back.
It
was
the
only
supper-room
that
I
have
been
in
that
was
not
over-crowded;
in
fact
we
were
the
only
people
there,
everybody
being
so
busy
dancing.
