from The Diary of a Nobody
I fairly lost my temper, and said: "Lupin, allow me to tell Miss Daisy Mutlar is not the Queen of England. I gave you credit for more
wisdom than to allow yourself to be inveigled into an engagement with a woman considerably older than yourself. I advise you to think of earning
your living before entangling yourself with a wife whom you will have to support, and, in all probability, her brother also, who appeared to be
nothing but a loafer
Instead of receiving this advice in a sensible manner, Lupin jumped up and said: "If you insult the lady I am engaged to you insult me. I will
leave the house and never darken your doors again."
He went out of the house, slamming the hall-door. But it was all right. He came back to supper, and we played Bézique till nearly twelve
o'clock
(from The Day by George Grossmth and Wedin Gros)
