The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith

NOVEMBER
7.—
Lupin
asked
Carrie
to
call
on
Mrs.
Mutlar,
but
Carrie
said
she
thought
Mrs.
Mutlar
ought
to
call
on
her
first.
I
agreed
with
Carrie,
and
this
led
to
an
argument.
However,
the
matter
was
settled
by
Carrie
saying
she
could
not
find
any
visiting
cards,
and
we
must
get
some
more
printed,
and
when
they
were
finished
would
be
quite
time
enough
to
discuss
the
etiquette
of
calling.
NOVEMBER
8.—
I
ordered
some
of
our
cards
at
Black’s,
the
stationers.
I
ordered
twenty-five
of
each,
which
will
last
us
for
a
good
long
time.
In
the
evening,
Lupin
brought
in
Harry
Mutlar,
Miss
Mutlar’s
brother.
He
was
rather
a
gawky
youth,
and
Lupin
said
he
was
the
most
popular
and
best
amateur
in
the
club,
referring
to
the
“Holloway
Comedians.”
Lupin
whispered
to
us
that
if
we
could
only
“draw
out”
Harry
a
bit,
he
would
make
us
roar
with
laughter.
At
supper,
young
Mutlar
did
several
amusing
things.
He
took
up
a
knife,
and
with
the
flat
part
of
it
played
a
tune
on
his
cheek
in
a
wonderful
manner.
He
also
gave
an
imitation
of
an
old
man
with
no
teeth,
smoking
a
big
cigar.
The
way
he
kept
dropping
the
cigar
sent
Carrie
into
fits.
In
the
course
of
conversation,
Daisy’s
name
cropped
up,
and
young
Mutlar
said
he
would
bring
his
sister
round
to
us
one
evening—
his
parents
being
rather
old-fashioned,
and
not
going
out
much.
Carrie
said
we
would
get
up
a
little
special
party.
As
young
Mutlar
showed
no
inclination
to
go,
and
it
was
approaching
eleven
o’clock,
as
a
hint
I
reminded
Lupin
that
he
had
to
be
up
early
to-morrow.
Instead
of
taking
the
hint,
Mutlar
began
a
series
of
comic
imitations.
He
went
on
for
an
hour
without
cessation.
Poor
Carrie
could
scarcely
keep
her
eyes
open.
At
last
she
made
an
excuse,
and
said
“Good-night.”
