The Luncheon.
(After S. Maugham)
It was twenty years ago and I was living in Paris. I had a tiny apartment and I was earning barely enough money to keep body and soul together. One of my readers, a lady, had read a book of mine and had written to me about it. I answered, thanking her, and soon I received from her another letter saying that she was passing through Paris and would like to have a chat with me. She asked me if I would give her a little luncheon at Foyot’s. It is a restaurant at which the French senators eat and it was so far beyond my means that I had never even thought of going there. But I was flattered and I was too young to say no to a woman. I had eighty francs to live on till the end of the month and a modest luncheon should not cost more than fifteen. If I cut out coffee for the next two weeks I could manage well enough. I answered that I would meet her at Foyot’s on Thursday at half past twelve. She was not so young as I expected and in appearance imposing rather than attractive. She was in fact a woman of forty, and she gave me the impression of having more teeth, white and large and even, than were necessary for any practical purpose. She was talkative, but since she seemed inclined to talk about me I was prepared to be an attentive listener. I was startled when the menu was brought, for the prices were a great deal higher than I had expected. She reassured me that she never ate anything for luncheon. “Oh, don’t say that” I answered generously. She added that she never ate more than one thing. She thought people ate too much nowadays. She wondered if they had any salmon. Well, it was early in the year for salmon and it was not in the menu, but I asked the waiter if they had any. Yes, they had had. I ordered it for my guest. The waiter asked her if she would have something while it was being cooked. She said that she wouldn’t mind having caviar. My heart sank a little. I knew I could not afford caviar, but I could not tell her that. I told the waiter by all means to bring caviar. For myself I chose the cheapest dish on the menu and that was a mutton chop. When my mutton chop arrived she said I was in the habit of eating a heavy luncheon and that was a mistake. She asked me to follow her example and just eat one thing. She was sure I’d feel better than. Then came the question of drink. “What will you drink?” I asked her.
“My doctor lets me drink only champagne. ” It seemed to me that my face became white. But I ordered half s bottle of champagne. She ate the caviar and she ate the salmon. She talked of art, literature and music. But all I wanted to know was what the “small” luncheon would cost me.
“Shall I be able to pay the bill?” I asked myself again and again. “What shall I do if the bill comes to more than I have?” If the bill comes to more, I shall leave my watch and say that I shall come back and pay later. The waiter came up to us with a large basket full of peaches. They were not in season then and their price was very high. My guest took one of them. “Coffee?” I asked her some minutes later. “Yes, just an ice-cream and coffee,” she answered. “You know,” she said as she ate the ice-cream, “I usually don’t eat luncheon. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and then dinner. But if I must have luncheon then I never eat more than one thing. ” The bill came, and when I paid it, I had the whole month before me and not a penny in my pocket. I’m not a bad man. But I am glad that today she weighs more than three hundred pounds. So I had my revenge at last.

So we met at the restaurant which she had chosen. She was a talkative woman of forty. When the waiter brought the menu, I saw that the prices were very high. She said that she ate nothing for luncheon. But she ordered the most expensive dishes such as salmon, caviar, champagne, peaches, coffee, ice-cream.

She wanted to meet him and asked him if he would give her a small luncheon at a restaurant where the French senators ate. The writer was flattered and answered that he would meet her at that restaurant on Thursday at half past twelve. When the menu was brought the young man was startled because the prices were a great deal higher than he had expected. The lady reassured him that she never ate more than one thing for luncheon, but she ordered some salmon, caviar, champagne, coffee and ice-cream. The young writer was very nervous and excited at the restaurant because he was afraid to find himself short of money. The bill came and he paid it, but when he walked out of the restaurant he had the whole month before him and not a penny in his pocket. But the writer had a revenge because the lady weighed more than three hundred pounds after that lunch. ”
13. A scene in the story where the young man and the lady are in the restaurant.

Shall I be able to pay the bill? What shall I do if the bill comes too more than I have? I shall leave my watch and say that I shall come back and pay later. (addressing the audience)
The lady: I think you are unwise to eat meat. How will you work after eating heavy things like chops? Your books are exciting. They are wonderful and breathtaking.
The waiter comes up to them with a large basket full of peaches. The lady takes one of them.
The lady: You see, you’ve filled your stomach with a lot of meet and you can’t eat any more. But I’ve just had a snack and I shall enjoy a peach.

The lady: Yes, just an ice-cream and coffee. You know, I usually don’t eat luncheon. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and then dinner. But if I must have luncheon then I never eat more than one thing. Follow my example, my dear.
The bill comes, the writer pays it and looks for a penny in the pocket. It is empty. They go out. The writer comes back: I’m not a bad man. But I am glad that today she weighs more than three hundred pounds. So I had my revenge at last.
