CHAPTER
V
After
the
Mansion
House
Ball.
Carrie
offended.
Gowing
also
offended.
A
pleasant
party
at
the
Cummings’.
Mr.
Franching,
of
Peckham,
visits
us.
MAY
8.—
I
woke
up
with
a
most
terrible
headache.
I
could
scarcely
see,
and
the
back
of
my
neck
was
as
if
I
had
given
it
a
crick.
I
thought
first
of
sending
for
a
doctor;
but
I
did
not
think
it
necessary.
When
up,
I
felt
faint,
and
went
to
Brownish’s,
the
chemist,
who
gave
me
a
draught.
So
bad
at
the
office,
had
to
get
leave
to
come
home.
Went
to
another
chemist
in
the
City,
and
I
got
a
draught.
Brownish’s
dose
seems
to
have
made
me
worse;
have
eaten
nothing
all
day.
To
make
matters
worse,
Carrie,
every
time
I
spoke
to
her,
answered
me
sharply—
that
is,
when
she
answered
at
all.
In
the
evening
I
felt
very
much
worse
again
and
said
to
her:
“I
do
believe
I’ve
been
poisoned
by
the
lobster
mayonnaise
at
the
Mansion
House
last
night;”
she
simply
replied,
without
taking
her
eyes
from
her
sewing:
“Champagne
never
did
agree
with
you.”
I
felt
irritated,
and
said:
“What
nonsense
you
talk;
I
only
had
a
glass
and
a
half,
and
you
know
as
well
as
I
do—”
Before
I
could
complete
the
sentence
she
bounced
out
of
the
room.
I
sat
over
an
hour
waiting
for
her
to
return;
but
as
she
did
not,
I
determined
I
would
go
to
bed.
I
discovered
Carrie
had
gone
to
bed
without
even
saying
“good-night”;
leaving
me
to
bar
the
scullery
door
and
feed
the
cat.
I
shall
certainly
speak
to
her
about
this
in
the
morning.
