CHAPTER
VII
Home
again.
Mrs.
James’
influence
on
Carrie.
Can
get
nothing
for
Lupin.
Next-door
neighbours
are
a
little
troublesome.
Some
one
tampers
with
my
diary.
Got
a
place
for
Lupin.
Lupin
startles
us
with
an
announcement.
AUGUST
22.—
Home
sweet
Home
again!
Carrie
bought
some
pretty
blue-wool
mats
to
stand
vases
on.
Fripps,
Janus
and
Co.
write
to
say
they
are
sorry
they
have
no
vacancy
among
their
staff
of
clerks
for
Lupin.
AUGUST
23.—
I
bought
a
pair
of
stags’
heads
made
of
plaster-of-Paris
and
coloured
brown.
They
will
look
just
the
thing
for
our
little
hall,
and
give
it
style;
the
heads
are
excellent
imitations.
Poolers
and
Smith
are
sorry
they
have
nothing
to
offer
Lupin.
AUGUST
24.—
Simply
to
please
Lupin,
and
make
things
cheerful
for
him,
as
he
is
a
little
down,
Carrie
invited
Mrs.
James
to
come
up
from
Sutton
and
spend
two
or
three
days
with
us.
We
have
not
said
a
word
to
Lupin,
but
mean
to
keep
it
as
a
surprise.
AUGUST
25.—
Mrs.
James,
of
Sutton,
arrived
in
the
afternoon,
bringing
with
her
an
enormous
bunch
of
wild
flowers.
The
more
I
see
of
Mrs.
James
the
nicer
I
think
she
is,
and
she
is
devoted
to
Carrie.
She
went
into
Carrie’s
room
to
take
off
her
bonnet,
and
remained
there
nearly
an
hour
talking
about
dress.
Lupin
said
he
was
not
a
bit
surprised
at
Mrs.
James’
visit,
but
was
surprised
at
her.
AUGUST
26,
Sunday.—
Nearly
late
for
church,
Mrs.
James
having
talked
considerably
about
what
to
wear
all
the
morning.
Lupin
does
not
seem
to
get
on
very
well
with
Mrs.
James.
I
am
afraid
we
shall
have
some
trouble
with
our
next-door
neighbours
who
came
in
last
Wednesday.
Several
of
their
friends,
who
drive
up
in
dog-carts,
have
already
made
themselves
objectionable.
