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 !'
