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!'
