The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
65
NOVEMBER
24.—
I
went
to
town
without
a
pocket-handkerchief.
This
is
the
second
time
I
have
done
this
during
the
last
week.
I
must
be
losing
my
memory.
Had
it
not
been
for
this
Daisy
Mutlar
business,
I
would
have
written
to
Mr.
Burwin-Fosselton
and
told
him
I
should
be
out
this
evening,
but
I
fancy
he
is
the
sort
of
young
man
who
would
come
all
the
same.
Dear
old
Cummings
came
in
the
evening;
but
Gowing
sent
round
a
little
note
saying
he
hoped
I
would
excuse
his
not
turning
up,
which
rather
amused
me.
He
added
that
his
neck
was
still
painful.
Of
course,
Burwin-Fosselton
came,
but
Lupin
never
turned
up,
and
imagine
my
utter
disgust
when
that
man
Padge
actually
came
again,
and
not
even
accompanied
by
Gowing.
I
was
exasperated,
and
said:
“Mr.
Padge,
this
is
a
surprise.”
Dear
Carrie,
fearing
unpleasantness,
said:
“Oh!
I
suppose
Mr.
Padge
has
only
come
to
see
the
other
Irving
make-up.”
Mr.
Padge
said:
“That’s
right,”
and
took
the
best
chair
again,
from
which
he
never
moved
the
whole
evening.
My
only
consolation
is,
he
takes
no
supper,
so
he
is
not
an
expensive
guest,
but
I
shall
speak
to
Gowing
about
the
matter.
The
Irving
imitations
and
conversations
occupied
the
whole
evening,
till
I
was
sick
of
it.
Once
we
had
a
rather
heated
discussion,
which
was
commenced
by
Cummings
saying
that
it
appeared
to
him
that
Mr.
Burwin-Fosselton
was
not
only
like
Mr.
Irving,
but
was
in
his
judgment
every
way
as
good
or
even
better.
I
ventured
to
remark
that
after
all
it
was
but
an
imitation
of
an
original.
