Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady, with in a tight black dress. She didn't?even look up when I took a my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make a conversation with her.
"A new play is coming to 'The Globe' soon.' I said. ' will you be seeing it.?" I asked.
"No." She answered.
'Will you be spending your holiday aboard 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 the her dinner.
'Young man.' she answered. 'If you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner.'
She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. 我在她旁邊坐下時(shí)她甚至沒有抬頭看一下。
