40課 Food and Talk

Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess askedme to sit next to Mrs Rumbold. Mrs Rumboldwas a large, unsmiling lady in a tight blackdress. She did not even look up when I took myseat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plateand in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried tomake conversation. 'A new play is coming to" TheGlobe" soon,' I said. "Will you be seeing it ?"'No,'sheanswered. 'Will you be spending your holidaysabroad this year?' I asked. 'No,' she answered. 'Willyou be staying in England?' I asked. 'No,' she answered. In despair, I asked her whether shewas enjoying her dinner. 'Young man,' she answered,'if you ate more and talked less, we wouldboth enjoy your dinner !'
