CHAPTER
XXIII
Lupin
leaves
us.
We
dine
at
his
new
apartments,
and
hear
some
extraordinary
information
respecting
the
wealth
of
Mr.
Murray
Posh.
Meet
Miss
Lilian
Posh.
Am
sent
for
by
Mr.
Hardfur
Huttle.
Important.
JULY
1.—
I
find,
on
looking
over
my
diary,
nothing
of
any
consequence
has
taken
place
during
the
last
month.
To-day
we
lose
Lupin,
who
has
taken
furnished
apartments
at
Bayswater,
near
his
friends,
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Murray
Posh,
at
two
guineas
a
week.
I
think
this
is
most
extravagant
of
him,
as
it
is
half
his
salary.
Lupin
says
one
never
loses
by
a
good
address,
and,
to
use
his
own
expression,
Brickfield
Terrace
is
a
bit
“off.”
Whether
he
means
it
is
“far
off”
I
do
not
know.
I
have
long
since
given
up
trying
to
understand
his
curious
expressions.
I
said
the
neighbourhood
had
always
been
good
enough
for
his
parents.
His
reply
was:
“It
is
no
question
of
being
good
or
bad.
There
is
no
money
in
it,
and
I
am
not
going
to
rot
away
my
life
in
the
suburbs.”
We
are
sorry
to
lose
him,
but
perhaps
he
will
get
on
better
by
himself,
and
there
may
be
some
truth
in
his
remark
that
an
old
and
a
young
horse
can’t
pull
together
in
the
same
cart.
Gowing
called,
and
said
that
the
house
seemed
quite
peaceful,
and
like
old
times.
He
liked
Master
Lupin
very
well,
but
he
occasionally
suffered
from
what
he
could
not
help—
youth.
