The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
125
I
went
home
a
little
more
cheerful,
but
I
left
word
with
Sarah
that
I
could
not
see
either
Gowing
or
Cummings,
nor
in
fact
anybody,
if
they
called
in
the
evening.
Lupin
came
into
the
parlour
for
a
moment
with
a
new
hat
on,
and
asked
my
opinion
of
it.
I
said
I
was
not
in
the
mood
to
judge
of
hats,
and
I
did
not
think
he
was
in
a
position
to
buy
a
new
one.
Lupin
replied
carelessly:
“I
didn’t
buy
it;
it
was
a
present.”
I
have
such
terrible
suspicions
of
Lupin
now
that
I
scarcely
like
to
ask
him
questions,
as
I
dread
the
answers
so.
He,
however,
saved
me
the
trouble.
He
said:
“I
met
a
friend,
an
old
friend,
that
I
did
not
quite
think
a
friend
at
the
time;
but
it’s
all
right.
As
he
wisely
said,
‘all
is
fair
in
love
and
war,’
and
there
was
no
reason
why
we
should
not
be
friends
still.
He’s
a
jolly,
good,
all-round
sort
of
fellow,
and
a
very
different
stamp
from
that
inflated
fool
of
a
Perkupp.”
I
said:
“Hush,
Lupin!
Do
not
pray
add
insult
to
injury.”
Lupin
said:
“What
do
you
mean
by
injury?
I
repeat,
I
have
done
no
injury.
Crowbillon
is
simply
tired
of
a
stagnant
stick-in-the-mud
firm,
and
made
the
change
on
his
own
account.
I
simply
recommended
the
new
firm
as
a
matter
of
biz—
good
old
biz!”
I
said
quietly:
“I
don’t
understand
your
slang,
and
at
my
time
of
life
have
no
desire
to
learn
it;
so,
Lupin,
my
boy,
let
us
change
the
subject.
I
will,
if
it
please
you,
try
and
be
interested
in
your
new
hat
adventure.”
