Carrie was about to say something; but she was interrupted, for which I was rather pleased, for she is not clever at argument, and one has to be extra clever to discuss a subject with a man like Mr. Huttle. He continued, with an amazing eloquence that made his unwelcome opinions positively convincing: "The happy medium is nothing more or less than a vulgar half-measure.
Gowing and Cummings came in the evening, and positively cheered me up with congratulations respecting Lupin. Gowing said: "I always said he would get on, and, take my word, he has more in his head than we three put together." Carrie said: "He is a second Hardfur Huttle." Master Percy Edgar Smith James. Mrs. May 26, Sunday. We went to Sutton after dinner to have meat-tea with Mr. and Mrs. James.
I trembled as I opened the letter, fearing it was some bad news about Mr. Perkupp. The note was: "Dear Mr. Pooter, Come down to the Victoria Hotel without delay. Important. Yours truly, Hardfur Huttle." I asked the cabman if it was too late. The cabman replied that it was NOT; for his instructions were, if I happened to be out, he was to wait till I came home.
Lupin said: "Hear! hear!" and helped himself to another glass of beer. The subject was fortunately changed, and Cummings read a most interesting article on the superiority of the bicycle to the horse. Dinner at Franching's to meet Mr. Hardfur Huttle. May 10. Received a letter from Mr. Franching, of Peckham, asking us to dine with him to-night, at seven o'clock, to meet Mr.
You make no difference in your dinner, I dare say, when you sit down by yourself and when you invite us. You have your own personal attendant no hired waiter to breathe on the back of your head." I saw Franching palpably wince at this. Mr. Huttle continued: "Just a small dinner with a few good things, such as you have this evening.
There was quite a silence. It appeared to me that such teaching was absolutely dangerous, and yet I felt in fact we must all have felt there was no answer to the argument. A little later on, Mrs. Purdick, who is Franching's sister and also acted as hostess, rose from the table, and Mr. Huttle said: "Why, ladies, do you deprive us of your company so soon? Why not wait while we have our cigars?"
