The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
60
I
told
Sarah
not
to
bring
up
the
blanc-mange
again
for
breakfast.
It
seems
to
have
been
placed
on
our
table
at
every
meal
since
Wednesday.
Cummings
came
round
in
the
evening,
and
congratulated
us
on
the
success
of
our
party.
He
said
it
was
the
best
party
he
had
been
to
for
many
a
year;
but
he
wished
we
had
let
him
know
it
was
full
dress,
as
he
would
have
turned
up
in
his
swallow-tails.
We
sat
down
to
a
quiet
game
of
dominoes,
and
were
interrupted
by
the
noisy
entrance
of
Lupin
and
Frank
Mutlar.
Cummings
and
I
asked
them
to
join
us.
Lupin
said
he
did
not
care
for
dominoes,
and
suggested
a
game
of
“Spoof.”
On
my
asking
if
it
required
counters,
Frank
and
Lupin
in
measured
time
said:
“One,
two,
three;
go!
Have
you
an
estate
in
Greenland?”
It
was
simply
Greek
to
me,
but
it
appears
it
is
one
of
the
customs
of
the
“Holloway
Comedians”
to
do
this
when
a
member
displays
ignorance.
In
spite
of
my
instructions,
that
blanc-mange
was
brought
up
again
for
supper.
To
make
matters
worse,
there
had
been
an
attempt
to
disguise
it,
by
placing
it
in
a
glass
dish
with
jam
round
it.
Carrie
asked
Lupin
if
he
would
have
some,
and
he
replied:
“No
second-hand
goods
for
me,
thank
you.”
I
told
Carrie,
when
we
were
alone,
if
that
blanc-mange
were
placed
on
the
table
again
I
should
walk
out
of
the
house.
NOVEMBER
19,
Sunday.—
A
delightfully
quiet
day.
In
the
afternoon
Lupin
was
off
to
spend
the
rest
of
the
day
with
the
Mutlars.
He
departed
in
the
best
of
spirits,
and
Carrie
said:
“Well,
one
advantage
of
Lupin’s
engagement
with
Daisy
is
that
the
boy
seems
happy
all
day
long.
That
quite
reconciles
me
to
what
I
must
confess
seems
an
imprudent
engagement.”
