The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
52
I
ascertained
that
the
cause
of
the
row
was,
that
Sarah
had
accused
Mrs.
Birrell
of
tearing
the
pages
out
of
my
diary
to
wrap
up
some
kitchen
fat
and
leavings
which
she
had
taken
out
of
the
house
last
week.
Mrs.
Birrell
had
slapped
Sarah’s
face,
and
said
she
had
taken
nothing
out
of
the
place,
as
there
was
“never
no
leavings
to
take.”
I
ordered
Sarah
back
to
her
work,
and
requested
Mrs.
Birrell
to
go
home.
When
I
entered
the
parlour
Lupin
was
kicking
his
legs
in
the
air,
and
roaring
with
laughter.
NOVEMBER
12,
Sunday.—
Coming
home
from
church
Carrie
and
I
met
Lupin,
Daisy
Mutlar,
and
her
brother.
Daisy
was
introduced
to
us,
and
we
walked
home
together,
Carrie
walking
on
with
Miss
Mutlar.
We
asked
them
in
for
a
few
minutes,
and
I
had
a
good
look
at
my
future
daughter-in-law.
My
heart
quite
sank.
She
is
a
big
young
woman,
and
I
should
think
at
least
eight
years
older
than
Lupin.
I
did
not
even
think
her
good-looking.
Carrie
asked
her
if
she
could
come
in
on
Wednesday
next
with
her
brother
to
meet
a
few
friends.
She
replied
that
she
would
only
be
too
pleased.
NOVEMBER
13.—
Carrie
sent
out
invitations
to
Gowing,
the
Cummings,
to
Mr.
and
Mrs.
James
(of
Sutton),
and
Mr.
Stillbrook.
I
wrote
a
note
to
Mr.
Franching,
of
Peckham.
Carrie
said
we
may
as
well
make
it
a
nice
affair,
and
why
not
ask
our
principal,
Mr.
Perkupp?
I
said
I
feared
we
were
not
quite
grand
enough
for
him.
Carrie
said
there
was
“no
offence
in
asking
him.”
I
said:
“Certainly
not,”
and
I
wrote
him
a
letter.
Carrie
confessed
she
was
a
little
disappointed
with
Daisy
Mutlar’s
appearance,
but
thought
she
seemed
a
nice
girl.
