The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
133
My
heart
gave
a
leap
of
horror,
and
I
rebuked
Gowing
very
sternly
for
joking
on
such
a
subject.
I
lay
awake
half
the
night
thinking
of
it—
the
other
half
was
spent
in
nightmares
on
the
same
subject.
MAY
31.—
I
wrote
a
stern
letter
to
the
laundress.
I
was
rather
pleased
with
the
letter,
for
I
thought
it
very
satirical.
I
said:
“You
have
returned
the
handkerchiefs
without
the
colour.
Perhaps
you
will
return
either
the
colour
or
the
value
of
the
handkerchiefs.”
I
shall
be
rather
curious
to
know
what
she
will
have
to
say.
More
table-turning
in
the
evening.
Carrie
said
last
night
was
in
a
measure
successful,
and
they
ought
to
sit
again.
Cummings
came
in,
and
seemed
interested.
I
had
the
gas
lighted
in
the
drawing-room,
got
the
steps,
and
repaired
the
cornice,
which
has
been
a
bit
of
an
eyesore
to
me.
In
a
fit
of
unthinkingness—
if
I
may
use
such
an
expression,—
I
gave
the
floor
over
the
parlour,
where
the
séance
was
taking
place,
two
loud
raps
with
the
hammer.
I
felt
sorry
afterwards,
for
it
was
the
sort
of
ridiculous,
foolhardy
thing
that
Gowing
or
Lupin
would
have
done.
However,
they
never
even
referred
to
it,
but
Carrie
declared
that
a
message
came
through
the
table
to
her
of
a
wonderful
description,
concerning
someone
whom
she
and
I
knew
years
ago,
and
who
was
quite
unknown
to
the
others.
When
we
went
to
bed,
Carrie
asked
me
as
a
favour
to
sit
to-morrow
night,
to
oblige
her.
She
said
it
seemed
rather
unkind
and
unsociable
on
my
part.
I
promised
I
would
sit
once.
