The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
44
Things
might
have
become
rather
disagreeable
but
for
Gowing
(who
seems
to
have
taken
to
Lupin)
suggesting
they
should
invent
games.
Lupin
said:
“Let’s
play
‘monkeys.’”
He
then
led
Gowing
all
round
the
room,
and
brought
him
in
front
of
the
looking-glass.
I
must
confess
I
laughed
heartily
at
this.
I
was
a
little
vexed
at
everybody
subsequently
laughing
at
some
joke
which
they
did
not
explain,
and
it
was
only
on
going
to
bed
I
discovered
I
must
have
been
walking
about
all
the
evening
with
an
antimacassar
on
one
button
of
my
coat-tails.
AUGUST
28.—
Found
a
large
brick
in
the
middle
bed
of
geraniums,
evidently
come
from
next
door.
Pattles
and
Pattles
can’t
find
a
place
for
Lupin.
AUGUST
29.—
Mrs.
James
is
making
a
positive
fool
of
Carrie.
Carrie
appeared
in
a
new
dress
like
a
smock-frock.
She
said
“smocking”
was
all
the
rage.
I
replied
it
put
me
in
a
rage.
She
also
had
on
a
hat
as
big
as
a
kitchen
coal-scuttle,
and
the
same
shape.
Mrs.
James
went
home,
and
both
Lupin
and
I
were
somewhat
pleased—
the
first
time
we
have
agreed
on
a
single
subject
since
his
return.
Merkins
and
Son
write
they
have
no
vacancy
for
Lupin.
OCTOBER
30.—
I
should
very
much
like
to
know
who
has
wilfully
torn
the
last
five
or
six
weeks
out
of
my
diary.
It
is
perfectly
monstrous!
Mine
is
a
large
scribbling
diary,
with
plenty
of
space
for
the
record
of
my
everyday
events,
and
in
keeping
up
that
record
I
take
(with
much
pride)
a
great
deal
of
pains.
