The Diary of a Nobody
·

I
said
to
Carrie:
“I
don’t
think
we
can
do
better
than
‘Good
old
Broadstairs.’”
Carrie
not
only,
to
my
astonishment,
raised
an
objection
to
Broadstairs,
for
the
first
time;
but
begged
me
not
to
use
the
expression,
“Good
old,”
but
to
leave
it
to
Mr.
Stillbrook
and
other
gentlemen
of
his
type.
Hearing
my
’bus
pass
the
window,
I
was
obliged
to
rush
out
of
the
house
without
kissing
Carrie
as
usual;
and
I
shouted
to
her:
“I
leave
it
to
you
to
decide.”
On
returning
in
the
evening,
Carrie
said
she
thought
as
the
time
was
so
short
she
had
decided
on
Broadstairs,
and
had
written
to
Mrs.
Beck,
Harbour
View
Terrace,
for
apartments.
AUGUST
1.—
Ordered
a
new
pair
of
trousers
at
Edwards’s,
and
told
them
not
to
cut
them
so
loose
over
the
boot;
the
last
pair
being
so
loose
and
also
tight
at
the
knee,
looked
like
a
sailor’s,
and
I
heard
Pitt,
that
objectionable
youth
at
the
office,
call
out
“Hornpipe”
as
I
passed
his
desk.
Carrie
has
ordered
of
Miss
Jibbons
a
pink
Garibaldi
and
blue-serge
skirt,
which
I
always
think
looks
so
pretty
at
the
seaside.
In
the
evening
she
trimmed
herself
a
little
sailor-hat,
while
I
read
to
her
the
Exchange
and
Mart.
We
had
a
good
laugh
over
my
trying
on
the
hat
when
she
had
finished
it;
Carrie
saying
it
looked
so
funny
with
my
beard,
and
how
the
people
would
have
roared
if
I
went
on
the
stage
like
it.
