The Diary of a Nobody
·

JUNE
1.—
I
sat
reluctantly
at
the
table
in
the
evening,
and
I
am
bound
to
admit
some
curious
things
happened.
I
contend
they
were
coincidences,
but
they
were
curious.
For
instance,
the
table
kept
tilting
towards
me,
which
Carrie
construed
as
a
desire
that
I
should
ask
the
spirit
a
question.
I
obeyed
the
rules,
and
I
asked
the
spirit
(who
said
her
name
was
Lina)
if
she
could
tell
me
the
name
of
an
old
aunt
of
whom
I
was
thinking,
and
whom
we
used
to
call
Aunt
Maggie.
The
table
spelled
out
C
A
T.
We
could
make
nothing
out
of
it,
till
I
suddenly
remembered
that
her
second
name
was
Catherine,
which
it
was
evidently
trying
to
spell.
I
don’t
think
even
Carrie
knew
this.
But
if
she
did,
she
would
never
cheat.
I
must
admit
it
was
curious.
Several
other
things
happened,
and
I
consented
to
sit
at
another
séance
on
Monday.
JUNE
3.—
The
laundress
called,
and
said
she
was
very
sorry
about
the
handkerchiefs,
and
returned
ninepence.
I
said,
as
the
colour
was
completely
washed
out
and
the
handkerchiefs
quite
spoiled,
ninepence
was
not
enough.
Carrie
replied
that
the
two
handkerchiefs
originally
only
cost
sixpence,
for
she
remembered
buying
them
at
a
sale
at
the
Holloway
Bon
Marché.
In
that
case,
I
insisted
that
threepence
should
be
returned
to
the
laundress.
Lupin
has
gone
to
stay
with
the
Poshs
for
a
few
days.
I
must
say
I
feel
very
uncomfortable
about
it.
Carrie
said
I
was
ridiculous
to
worry
about
it.
Mr.
Posh
was
very
fond
of
Lupin,
who,
after
all,
was
only
a
mere
boy.
