The Diary of a Nobody
·

Mr.
Huttle
paused
for
a
moment
and
the
opportunity
was
afforded
for
the
ladies
to
rise.
I
asked
Mr.
Franching
quietly
to
excuse
me,
as
I
did
not
wish
to
miss
the
last
train,
which
we
very
nearly
did,
by-the-by,
through
Carrie
having
mislaid
the
little
cloth
cricket-cap
which
she
wears
when
we
go
out.
It
was
very
late
when
Carrie
and
I
got
home;
but
on
entering
the
sitting-room
I
said:
“Carrie,
what
do
you
think
of
Mr.
Hardfur
Huttle?”
She
simply
answered:
“How
like
Lupin!”
The
same
idea
occurred
to
me
in
the
train.
The
comparison
kept
me
awake
half
the
night.
Mr.
Huttle
was,
of
course,
an
older
and
more
influential
man;
but
he
was
like
Lupin,
and
it
made
me
think
how
dangerous
Lupin
would
be
if
he
were
older
and
more
influential.
I
feel
proud
to
think
Lupin
does
resemble
Mr.
Huttle
in
some
ways.
Lupin,
like
Mr.
Huttle,
has
original
and
sometimes
wonderful
ideas;
but
it
is
those
ideas
that
are
so
dangerous.
They
make
men
extremely
rich
or
extremely
poor.
They
make
or
break
men.
I
always
feel
people
are
happier
who
live
a
simple
unsophisticated
life.
I
believe
I
am
happy
because
I
am
not
ambitious.
Somehow
I
feel
that
Lupin,
since
he
has
been
with
Mr.
Perkupp,
has
become
content
to
settle
down
and
follow
the
footsteps
of
his
father.
This
is
a
comfort.
