Well,is was early in the year for salmon and is was not on the bill of fare,but i asked the waiter if there was any. Yes, a beautiful salmon had just come in,is was the first they had had. I ordered it for my guest. The waiter asked her if she would have something while it was being cooked.
no, she answered, i never eat more than on thing. Unless you had a little caviare. I never mind caviare.
my heart sank a little. i knew i could not afford caviare, but i could not very well tell her that. i told the waiter by all means to bring caviare. for myself i chose the cheapest dish on the menu and that was a mutton chop.
i think you’re unwise to eat meat, she said. I don’t know how you can expect to work after eating heavy things like chops.i don’t believe in overloading my stomach.
then came the question of drink.
I NEVER drink anyting for luncheon, she said
neither do i, i answered promptly
except white wine, she proceeded as though i had not spoken. These french white wines are so light. they’re wonderful for the digestion.
what would you like? asked, hospitable still, but not exactly effusive.
she gave me a bright and amicable flash of her white teeth.
my doctor won’t let me drink anything but champagne,
