Mutlar.
We
decide

party
in

NOVEMBER
5,
Sunday.—
Carrie
and
I
troubled
about
that
mere
boy
Lupin
getting
engaged
to
be
married
without
consulting
us
or
anything.
After
dinner
he
told
us
all
about
it.
He
said
the
lady’s
name
was
Daisy
Mutlar,
and
she
was
the
nicest,
prettiest,
and
most
accomplished
girl
he
ever
met.
He
loved
her
the
moment
he
saw
her,
and
if
he
had
to
wait
fifty
years
he
would
wait,
and
he
knew
she
would
wait
for
him.
Lupin
further
said,
with
much
warmth,
that
the
world
was
a
different
world
to
him
now,—
it
was
a
world
worth
living
in.
He
lived
with
an
object
now,
and
that
was
to
make
Daisy
Mutlar—
Daisy
Pooter,
and
he
would
guarantee
she
would
not
disgrace
the
family
of
the
Pooters.
Carrie
here
burst
out
crying,
and
threw
her
arms
round
his
neck,
and
in
doing
so,
upset
the
glass
of
port
he
held
in
his
hand
all
over
his
new
light
trousers.
I
said
I
had
no
doubt
we
should
like
Miss
Mutlar
when
we
saw
her,
but
Carrie
said
she
loved
her
already.
I
thought
this
rather
premature,
but
held
my
tongue.
Daisy
Mutlar
was
the
sole
topic
of
conversation
for
the
remainder
of
the
day.
I
asked
Lupin
who
her
people
were,
and
he
replied:
“Oh,
you
know
Mutlar,
Williams
and
Watts.”
I
did
not
know,
but
refrained
from
asking
any
further
questions
at
present,
for
fear
of
irritating
Lupin.
