CHAPTER
THE
LAST
One
of
the
happiest
days
of
my
life.
JULY
10.—
The
excitement
and
anxiety
through
which
I
have
gone
the
last
few
days
have
been
almost
enough
to
turn
my
hair
grey.
It
is
all
but
settled.
To-morrow
the
die
will
be
cast.
I
have
written
a
long
letter
to
Lupin—
feeling
it
my
duty
to
do
so,—
regarding
his
attention
to
Mrs.
Posh,
for
they
drove
up
to
our
house
again
last
night.
JULY
11.—
I
find
my
eyes
filling
with
tears
as
I
pen
the
note
of
my
interview
this
morning
with
Mr.
Perkupp.
Addressing
me,
he
said:
“My
faithful
servant,
I
will
not
dwell
on
the
important
service
you
have
done
our
firm.
You
can
never
be
sufficiently
thanked.
Let
us
change
the
subject.
Do
you
like
your
house,
and
are
you
happy
where
you
are?”
I
replied:
“Yes,
sir;
I
love
my
house
and
I
love
the
neighbourhood,
and
could
not
bear
to
leave
it.”
Mr.
Perkupp,
to
my
surprise,
said:
“Mr.
Pooter,
I
will
purchase
the
freehold
of
that
house,
and
present
it
to
the
most
honest
and
most
worthy
man
it
has
ever
been
my
lot
to
meet.”
He
shook
my
hand,
and
said
he
hoped
my
wife
and
I
would
be
spared
many
years
to
enjoy
it.
My
heart
was
too
full
to
thank
him;
and,
seeing
my
embarrassment,
the
good
fellow
said:
“You
need
say
nothing,
Mr.
Pooter,”
and
left
the
office.
I
sent
telegrams
to
Carrie,
Gowing,
and
Cummings
(a
thing
I
have
never
done
before),
and
asked
the
two
latter
to
come
round
to
supper.
