The Diary of a Nobody
·

We
all
then
ate
our
breakfast
in
dead
silence.
In
fact,
I
could
eat
nothing.
I
was
not
only
too
worried,
but
I
cannot
and
will
not
eat
cushion
of
bacon.
If
I
cannot
get
streaky
bacon,
I
will
do
without
anything.
When
Lupin
rose
to
go
I
noticed
a
malicious
smile
creep
over
his
face.
I
asked
him
what
it
meant.
He
replied:
“Oh!
only
a
little
consolation—
still
it
is
a
consolation.
I
have
just
remembered
that,
by
my
advice,
Mr.
Murray
Posh
has
invested
£600
in
Parachikka
Chlorates!”
CHAPTER
XVII
Marriage
of
Daisy
Mutlar
and
Murray
Posh.
The
dream
of
my
life
realised.
Mr.
Perkupp
takes
Lupin
into
the
office.
MARCH
20.—
To-day
being
the
day
on
which
Daisy
Mutlar
and
Mr.
Murray
Posh
are
to
be
married,
Lupin
has
gone
with
a
friend
to
spend
the
day
at
Gravesend.
Lupin
has
been
much
cut-up
over
the
affair,
although
he
declares
that
he
is
glad
it
is
off.
I
wish
he
would
not
go
to
so
many
music-halls,
but
one
dare
not
say
anything
to
him
about
it.
At
the
present
moment
he
irritates
me
by
singing
all
over
the
house
some
nonsense
about
“What’s
the
matter
with
Gladstone?
He’s
all
right!
What’s
the
matter
with
Lupin?
He’s
all
right!”
I
don’t
think
either
of
them
is.
In
the
evening
Gowing
called,
and
the
chief
topic
of
conversation
was
Daisy’s
marriage
to
Murray
Posh.
I
said:
“I
was
glad
the
matter
was
at
an
end,
as
Daisy
would
only
have
made
a
fool
of
Lupin.”
Gowing,
with
his
usual
good
taste,
said:
“Oh,
Master
Lupin
can
make
a
fool
of
himself
without
any
assistance.”
Carrie
very
properly
resented
this,
and
Gowing
had
sufficient
sense
to
say
he
was
sorry.
