The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
30
MAY
12.—
Got
a
single
copy
of
the
Blackfriars
Bi-weekly
News.
There
was
a
short
list
of
several
names
they
had
omitted;
but
the
stupid
people
had
mentioned
our
names
as
“Mr.
and
Mrs.
C.
Porter.”
Most
annoying!
Wrote
again
and
I
took
particular
care
to
write
our
name
in
capital
letters,
POOTER,
so
that
there
should
be
no
possible
mistake
this
time.
MAY
16.—
Absolutely
disgusted
on
opening
the
Blackfriars
Bi-weekly
News
of
to-day,
to
find
the
following
paragraph:
“We
have
received
two
letters
from
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Charles
Pewter,
requesting
us
to
announce
the
important
fact
that
they
were
at
the
Mansion
House
Ball.”
I
tore
up
the
paper
and
threw
it
in
the
waste-paper
basket.
My
time
is
far
too
valuable
to
bother
about
such
trifles.
MAY
21.—
The
last
week
or
ten
days
terribly
dull,
Carrie
being
away
at
Mrs.
James’s,
at
Sutton.
Cummings
also
away.
Gowing,
I
presume,
is
still
offended
with
me
for
black
enamelling
his
stick
without
asking
him.
MAY
22.—
Purchased
a
new
stick
mounted
with
silver,
which
cost
seven-and-sixpence
(shall
tell
Carrie
five
shillings),
and
sent
it
round
with
nice
note
to
Gowing.
MAY
23.—
Received
strange
note
from
Gowing;
he
said:
“Offended?
not
a
bit,
my
boy—
I
thought
you
were
offended
with
me
for
losing
my
temper.
Besides,
I
found
after
all,
it
was
not
my
poor
old
uncle’s
stick
you
painted.
It
was
only
a
shilling
thing
I
bought
at
a
tobacconist’s.
However,
I
am
much
obliged
to
you
for
your
handsome
present
all
same.”
