The Diary of a Nobody

Carrie
objected
strongly
to
my
saying
“Good
old,”
but
she
made
no
remark
when
Willie
used
the
double
adjective.
I
said
nothing,
but
looked
at
her,
which
meant
more.
I
said:
“My
dear
Willie,
I
hope
you
are
happy
with
your
colleagues
at
the
Bank.”
He
replied:
“Lupin,
if
you
please;
and
with
respect
to
the
Bank,
there’s
not
a
clerk
who
is
a
gentleman,
and
the
‘boss’
is
a
cad.”
I
felt
so
shocked,
I
could
say
nothing,
and
my
instinct
told
me
there
was
something
wrong.
AUGUST
6,
Bank
Holiday.—
As
there
was
no
sign
of
Lupin
moving
at
nine
o’clock,
I
knocked
at
his
door,
and
said
we
usually
breakfasted
at
half-past
eight,
and
asked
how
long
would
he
be?
Lupin
replied
that
he
had
had
a
lively
time
of
it,
first
with
the
train
shaking
the
house
all
night,
and
then
with
the
sun
streaming
in
through
the
window
in
his
eyes,
and
giving
him
a
cracking
headache.
Carrie
came
up
and
asked
if
he
would
like
some
breakfast
sent
up,
and
he
said
he
could
do
with
a
cup
of
tea,
and
didn’t
want
anything
to
eat.
Lupin
not
having
come
down,
I
went
up
again
at
half-past
one,
and
said
we
dined
at
two;
he
said
he
“would
be
there.”
He
never
came
down
till
a
quarter
to
three.
I
said:
“We
have
not
seen
much
of
you,
and
you
will
have
to
return
by
the
5.30
train;
therefore
you
will
have
to
leave
in
an
hour,
unless
you
go
by
the
midnight
mail.”
He
said:
“Look
here,
Guv’nor,
it’s
no
use
beating
about
the
bush.
I’ve
tendered
my
resignation
at
the
Bank.”
