The Diary of a Nobody

Sarah
at
this
moment
opened
the
door
and
showed
in
Cummings,
for
which
I
was
thankful,
for
I
felt
it
would
put
a
stop
to
this
foolish
table-turning.
But
I
was
entirely
mistaken;
for,
on
the
subject
being
opened
again,
Cummings
said
he
was
most
interested
in
Spiritualism,
although
he
was
bound
to
confess
he
did
not
believe
much
in
it;
still,
he
was
willing
to
be
convinced.
I
firmly
declined
to
take
any
part
in
it,
with
the
result
that
my
presence
was
ignored.
I
left
the
three
sitting
in
the
parlour
at
a
small
round
table
which
they
had
taken
out
of
the
drawing-room.
I
walked
into
the
hall
with
the
ultimate
intention
of
taking
a
little
stroll.
As
I
opened
the
door,
who
should
come
in
but
Gowing!
On
hearing
what
was
going
on,
he
proposed
that
we
should
join
the
circle
and
he
would
go
into
a
trance.
He
added
that
he
knew
a
few
things
about
old
Cummings,
and
would
invent
a
few
about
Mrs.
James.
Knowing
how
dangerous
Gowing
is,
I
declined
to
let
him
take
part
in
any
such
foolish
performance.
Sarah
asked
me
if
she
could
go
out
for
half
an
hour,
and
I
gave
her
permission,
thinking
it
would
be
more
comfortable
to
sit
with
Gowing
in
the
kitchen
than
in
the
cold
drawing-room.
We
talked
a
good
deal
about
Lupin
and
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Murray
Posh,
with
whom
he
is
as
usual
spending
the
evening.
Gowing
said:
“I
say,
it
wouldn’t
be
a
bad
thing
for
Lupin
if
old
Posh
kicked
the
bucket.”
