The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
76
Fortunately
the
matter
was
treated
as
a
joke,
and
we
all
laughed;
but
it
was
a
dangerous
experiment,
and
I
felt
very
uneasy
for
a
moment
as
to
the
result.
I
subsequently
referred
to
the
matter
to
Carrie,
but
she
said:
“Oh,
he’s
not
much
more
than
a
boy.”
I
said
that
he
had
a
very
large
moustache
for
a
boy.
Carrie
replied:
“I
didn’t
say
he
was
not
a
nice
boy.”
DECEMBER
26.—
I
did
not
sleep
very
well
last
night;
I
never
do
in
a
strange
bed.
I
feel
a
little
indigestion,
which
one
must
expect
at
this
time
of
the
year.
Carrie
and
I
returned
to
Town
in
the
evening.
Lupin
came
in
late.
He
said
he
enjoyed
his
Christmas,
and
added:
“I
feel
as
fit
as
a
Lowther
Arcade
fiddle,
and
only
require
a
little
more
‘oof’
to
feel
as
fit
as
a
£500
Stradivarius.”
I
have
long
since
given
up
trying
to
understand
Lupin’s
slang,
or
asking
him
to
explain
it.
DECEMBER
27.—
I
told
Lupin
I
was
expecting
Gowing
and
Cummings
to
drop
in
to-morrow
evening
for
a
quiet
game.
I
was
in
hope
the
boy
would
volunteer
to
stay
in,
and
help
to
amuse
them.
Instead
of
which,
he
said:
“Oh,
you
had
better
put
them
off,
as
I
have
asked
Daisy
and
Frank
Mutlar
to
come.”
I
said
I
could
not
think
of
doing
such
a
thing.
Lupin
said:
“Then
I
will
send
a
wire,
and
put
off
Daisy.”
I
suggested
that
a
post-card
or
letter
would
reach
her
quite
soon
enough,
and
would
not
be
so
extravagant.
