The Diary of a Nobody
·

NOVEMBER
3.—
Good
news
at
last.
Mr.
Perkupp
has
got
an
appointment
for
Lupin,
and
he
is
to
go
and
see
about
it
on
Monday.
Oh,
how
my
mind
is
relieved!
I
went
to
Lupin’s
room
to
take
the
good
news
to
him,
but
he
was
in
bed,
very
seedy,
so
I
resolved
to
keep
it
over
till
the
evening.
He
said
he
had
last
night
been
elected
a
member
of
an
Amateur
Dramatic
Club,
called
the
“Holloway
Comedians”;
and,
though
it
was
a
pleasant
evening,
he
had
sat
in
a
draught,
and
got
neuralgia
in
the
head.
He
declined
to
have
any
breakfast,
so
I
left
him.
In
the
evening
I
had
up
a
special
bottle
of
port,
and,
Lupin
being
in
for
a
wonder,
we
filled
our
glasses,
and
I
said:
“Lupin
my
boy,
I
have
some
good
and
unexpected
news
for
you.
Mr.
Perkupp
has
procured
you
an
appointment!”
Lupin
said:
“Good
biz!”
and
we
drained
our
glasses.
Lupin
then
said:
“Fill
up
the
glasses
again,
for
I
have
some
good
and
unexpected
news
for
you.”
I
had
some
slight
misgivings,
and
so
evidently
had
Carrie,
for
she
said:
“I
hope
we
shall
think
it
good
news.”
Lupin
said:
“Oh,
it’s
all
right!
I’m
engaged
to
be
married!”
