The Diary of a Nobody

I
felt
despondent
as
I
went
back
to
the
house,
and
I
told
Carrie
I
thought
the
party
was
a
failure.
Carrie
said
it
was
a
great
success,
and
I
was
only
tired,
and
insisted
on
my
having
some
port
myself.
I
drank
two
glasses,
and
felt
much
better,
and
we
went
into
the
drawing-room,
where
they
had
commenced
dancing.
Carrie
and
I
had
a
little
dance,
which
I
said
reminded
me
of
old
days.
She
said
I
was
a
spooney
old
thing.

Reflections.
I
make
another
Good
Joke.
Am
annoyed
at
the
constant
serving-up
of
the
“Blanc-Mange.”

NOVEMBER
16.—
Woke
about
twenty
times
during
the
night,
with
terrible
thirst.
Finished
off
all
the
water
in
the
bottle,
as
well
as
half
that
in
the
jug.
Kept
dreaming
also,
that
last
night’s
party
was
a
failure,
and
that
a
lot
of
low
people
came
without
invitation,
and
kept
chaffing
and
throwing
things
at
Mr.
Perkupp,
till
at
last
I
was
obliged
to
hide
him
in
the
box-room
(which
we
had
just
discovered),
with
a
bath-towel
over
him.
It
seems
absurd
now,
but
it
was
painfully
real
in
the
dream.
I
had
the
same
dream
about
a
dozen
times.
Carrie
annoyed
me
by
saying:
“You
know
champagne
never
agrees
with
you.”
I
told
her
I
had
only
a
couple
of
glasses
of
it,
having
kept
myself
entirely
to
port.
I
added
that
good
champagne
hurt
nobody,
and
Lupin
told
me
he
had
only
got
it
from
a
traveller
as
a
favour,
as
that
particular
brand
had
been
entirely
bought
up
by
a
West-End
club.
