Lesson40 Food and talk
Last week at a dinner-party,
the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold.
Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress.
She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her.
Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time,
she was busy eating.
I tried to make conversation.
' A new play is coming to" The Globe" soon,' I said.
'Will you be seeing it ?'
' No,' she answered.
'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked.
' No,' she answered.
' Will you be staying in England?' I asked.
' No,' she answered.
In despair,
I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
' Young man,' she answered,
' if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!'
