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!"

在上星期的一次宴會上，女主人安排我坐在蘭伯爾德夫人的身旁。蘭伯爾德夫人是一位身材高大、表情嚴肅的女人，穿一件緊身的黑衣服。當我在她身旁坐下來的時候，她甚至連頭都沒有抬一下。她的眼睛盯著自己的盤子，不一會兒就忙著吃起來了。我試圖找個話題和她聊聊。 “一出新劇要來‘環(huán)球劇場’上演了，”我說，“您去看嗎？” “不，”她回答。 “您今年去國外度假嗎？”我又問。 “不，”她回答。 “您就呆在英國嗎？”我問。 “不，”她回答。 失望之中我問她飯是否吃得滿意。 “年輕人，”她回答說，“如果你多吃點，少說點，我們兩個都會吃得好的！”
