The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
71
I
said:
“I
certainly
wore
none
yesterday,
for
there
were
none
on.”
Another
thought
that
strikes
me
is
that
Gowing
seldom
calls
in
the
evening,
and
Cummings
never
does.
I
fear
they
don’t
get
on
well
with
Lupin.
DECEMBER
18.—
Yesterday
I
was
in
a
retrospective
vein—
to-day
it
is
prospective.
I
see
nothing
but
clouds,
clouds,
clouds.
Lupin
is
perfectly
intolerable
over
the
Daisy
Mutlar
business.
He
won’t
say
what
is
the
cause
of
the
breach.
He
is
evidently
condemning
her
conduct,
and
yet,
if
we
venture
to
agree
with
him,
says
he
won’t
hear
a
word
against
her.
So
what
is
one
to
do?
Another
thing
which
is
disappointing
to
me
is,
that
Carrie
and
Lupin
take
no
interest
whatever
in
my
diary.
I
broached
the
subject
at
the
breakfast-table
to-day.
I
said:
“I
was
in
hopes
that,
if
anything
ever
happened
to
me,
the
diary
would
be
an
endless
source
of
pleasure
to
you
both;
to
say
nothing
of
the
chance
of
the
remuneration
which
may
accrue
from
its
being
published.”
Both
Carrie
and
Lupin
burst
out
laughing.
Carrie
was
sorry
for
this,
I
could
see,
for
she
said:
“I
did
not
mean
to
be
rude,
dear
Charlie;
but
truly
I
do
not
think
your
diary
would
sufficiently
interest
the
public
to
be
taken
up
by
a
publisher.”
I
replied:
“I
am
sure
it
would
prove
quite
as
interesting
as
some
of
the
ridiculous
reminiscences
that
have
been
published
lately.
Besides,
it’s
the
diary
that
makes
the
man.
Where
would
Evelyn
and
Pepys
have
been
if
it
had
not
been
for
their
diaries?”
