The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith

I
replied:
“Mr.
Perkupp,
I
will
work
day
and
night
to
serve
you!”
Mr.
Perkupp
said:
“I
know
you
will.
Now,
what
I
should
like
you
to
do
is
this.
You
yourself
might
write
to
Mr.
Crowbillon—
you
must
not,
of
course,
lead
him
to
suppose
I
know
anything
about
your
doing
so—
and
explain
to
him
that
your
son
was
only
taken
on
as
a
clerk—
quite
an
inexperienced
one
in
fact—
out
of
the
respect
the
firm
had
for
you,
Mr.
Pooter.
This
is,
of
course,
a
fact.
I
don’t
suggest
that
you
should
speak
in
too
strong
terms
of
your
own
son’s
conduct;
but
I
may
add,
that
had
he
been
a
son
of
mine,
I
should
have
condemned
his
interference
with
no
measured
terms.
That
I
leave
to
you.
I
think
the
result
will
be
that
Mr.
Crowbillon
will
see
the
force
of
the
foolish
step
he
has
taken,
and
our
firm
will
neither
suffer
in
dignity
nor
in
pocket.”
I
could
not
help
thinking
what
a
noble
gentleman
Mr.
Perkupp
is.
His
manners
and
his
way
of
speaking
seem
to
almost
thrill
one
with
respect.
I
said:
“Would
you
like
to
see
the
letter
before
I
send
it?”
Mr.
Perkupp
said:
“Oh
no!
I
had
better
not.
I
am
supposed
to
know
nothing
about
it,
and
I
have
every
confidence
in
you.
You
must
write
the
letter
carefully.
We
are
not
very
busy;
you
had
better
take
the
morning
to-morrow,
or
the
whole
day
if
you
like.
I
shall
be
here
myself
all
day
to-morrow,
in
fact
all
the
week,
in
case
Mr.
Crowbillon
should
call.”
