Lupin positively refused to walk down the Parade with me because I was wearing my new straw helmet with my frock-coat. I don't know what the boy is coming to.
Lupin not falling wiht our views. Carrie and I went for a sail. It was relef to be with her alone; for when Lupin irritates me, she always sides with him. On our return, he said:" Oh, you've been on the 'Shilling Emetic,' have you? You'll come to six-pennorth on the 'Liver Jerker' next." I presume he meant a tricycle, but I affected not to understand him.

Change the subject to avoid awkward question
Cleared up a bit, so we all took the train to Margate, and the first person we met on the jetty was Gowing i said:" Hullon! I thought you had gone to Barmouth with your Birmingham friends?" He said:" Yes, but young Peter Lawrence was so ill, they postphoned thier visit, so I came down here. You know the cummings' are here too?" Carrie sia:" Oh, that will be delightful! We must have some evenings together and have games."
I introduced Lupin, saying:" You will be pleased to find we have our dear boy at home!" Gowing said:" How's that? You don't mean to say he's left the Bank?"
I changed the subject quickly, and thereby avoided any of those awkward questions which Gowing always has a knack of asking.

Rain all day hard
I was a little annoyed to find Lupin, instead of reading last night, had gone to a common sort of entertainment, given at the Assembly Rooms. I expressed my opinion that such performances were unworthy of respectable patronage; but he replied:" Oh, it was only 'for one night only.' I had a fit of the blues come on, and thought I would go to see Polly Presswell, england's particular Spark." I told him I was proud to say I had never heard of her, Carrie said:" Do let the boy alone. He's quite old enough to take care of himself, and won't forget his's a gentleman. Remember, you were young once yourself." Rained all say hard, but Lupin would go out.
