Food and Talk

Food and Talk

Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to visit 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.

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!”
