The Diary of a Nobody

Mutlar
then
left,
and
I
heard
him
and
Lupin
whispering
in
the
hall
something
about
the
“Holloway
Comedians,”
and
to
my
disgust,
although
it
was
past
midnight,
Lupin
put
on
his
hat
and
coat,
and
went
out
with
his
new
companion.
NOVEMBER
9.—
My
endeavours
to
discover
who
tore
the
sheets
out
of
my
diary
still
fruitless.
Lupin
has
Daisy
Mutlar
on
the
brain,
so
we
see
little
of
him,
except
that
he
invariably
turns
up
at
meal
times.
Cummings
dropped
in.
NOVEMBER
10.—
Lupin
seems
to
like
his
new
berth—
that’s
a
comfort.
Daisy
Mutlar
the
sole
topic
of
conversation
during
tea.
Carrie
almost
as
full
of
it
as
Lupin.
Lupin
informs
me,
to
my
disgust,
that
he
has
been
persuaded
to
take
part
in
the
forthcoming
performance
of
the
“Holloway
Comedians.”
He
says
he
is
to
play
Bob
Britches
in
the
farce,
Gone
to
my
Uncle’s;
Frank
Mutlar
is
going
to
play
old
Musty.
I
told
Lupin
pretty
plainly
I
was
not
in
the
least
degree
interested
in
the
matter,
and
totally
disapproved
of
amateur
theatricals.
Gowing
came
in
the
evening.
NOVEMBER
11.—
Returned
home
to
find
the
house
in
a
most
disgraceful
uproar,
Carrie,
who
appeared
very
frightened,
was
standing
outside
her
bedroom,
while
Sarah
was
excited
and
crying.
Mrs.
Birrell
(the
charwoman),
who
had
evidently
been
drinking,
was
shouting
at
the
top
of
her
voice
that
she
was
“no
thief,
that
she
was
a
respectable
woman,
who
had
to
work
hard
for
her
living,
and
she
would
smack
anyone’s
face
who
put
lies
into
her
mouth.”
Lupin,
whose
back
was
towards
me,
did
not
hear
me
come
in.
He
was
standing
between
the
two
women,
and,
I
regret
to
say,
in
his
endeavour
to
act
as
peacemaker,
he
made
use
of
rather
strong
language
in
the
presence
of
his
mother;
and
I
was
just
in
time
to
hear
him
say:
“And
all
this
fuss
about
the
loss
of
a
few
pages
from
a
rotten
diary
that
wouldn’t
fetch
three-halfpence
a
pound!”
I
said,
quietly:
“Pardon
me,
Lupin,
that
is
a
matter
of
opinion;
and
as
I
am
master
of
this
house,
perhaps
you
will
allow
me
to
take
the
reins.”
