The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
40
AUGUST
16.—
Lupin
positively
refused
to
walk
down
the
Parade
with
me
because
I
was
wearing
my
new
straw
helmet
with
my
frock-coat.
I
don’t
know
what
the
boy
is
coming
to.
AUGUST
17.—
Lupin
not
falling
in
with
our
views,
Carrie
and
I
went
for
a
sail.
It
was
a
relief
to
be
with
her
alone;
for
when
Lupin
irritates
me,
she
always
sides
with
him.
On
our
return,
he
said:
“Oh,
you’ve
been
on
the
‘Shilling
Emetic,’
have
you?
You’ll
come
to
six-pennorth
on
the
‘Liver
Jerker’
next.”
I
presume
he
meant
a
tricycle,
but
I
affected
not
to
understand
him.
AUGUST
18.—
Gowing
and
Cummings
walked
over
to
arrange
an
evening
at
Margate.
It
being
wet,
Gowing
asked
Cummings
to
accompany
him
to
the
hotel
and
have
a
game
of
billiards,
knowing
I
never
play,
and
in
fact
disapprove
of
the
game.
Cummings
said
he
must
hasten
back
to
Margate;
whereupon
Lupin,
to
my
horror,
said:
“I’ll
give
you
a
game,
Gowing—
a
hundred
up.
A
walk
round
the
cloth
will
give
me
an
appetite
for
dinner.”
I
said:
“Perhaps
Mister
Gowing
does
not
care
to
play
with
boys.”
Gowing
surprised
me
by
saying:
“Oh
yes,
I
do,
if
they
play
well,”
and
they
walked
off
together.
AUGUST
19,
Sunday.—
I
was
about
to
read
Lupin
a
sermon
on
smoking
(which
he
indulges
in
violently)
and
billiards,
but
he
put
on
his
hat
and
walked
out.
Carrie
then
read
me
a
long
sermon
on
the
palpable
inadvisability
of
treating
Lupin
as
if
he
were
a
mere
child.
I
felt
she
was
somewhat
right,
so
in
the
evening
I
offered
him
a
cigar.
He
seemed
pleased,
but,
after
a
few
whiffs,
said:
“This
is
a
good
old
tup’ny—
try
one
of
mine,”
and
he
handed
me
a
cigar
as
long
as
it
was
strong,
which
is
saying
a
good
deal.
