B1. Who said to whom : (2) [Table with three columns — Sentence, Who said, To whom. (i) “Are you still hungry ?” (ii) “But I’ve just had a snack and I shall enjoy a peach”.]
The asparagus appeared. I watched her thrust them down her throat in large mouthfuls. At last, she finished.
“Coffee ?” I said.
“Yes, just an ice cream and coffee,” she answered. I was past caring now, so I ordered coffee for myself and an ice cream and coffee for her.
“You know, there’s one thing I thoroughly believe in,” she said, as she ate the ice cream. “One should always get up from a meal feeling one could eat a little more.”
“Are you still hungry ?” I asked faintly.
“Oh, no, I’m not hungry. You see, I don’t eat luncheon. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and then dinner, but I never eat more than one thing for luncheon. I was speaking for you.”
“Oh, I see.” Then a terrible thing happened. While we were waiting for the coffee, the head waiter came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge peaches. But surely peaches were not in season then ? Lord knew what they cost ! I knew a little later, for my guest going on with her conversation, absentmindedly took one.
“You see, you’ve filled your stomach with a lot of meat,” my one miserable little chop “and you can’t eat any more. But I’ve just had a snack and I shall enjoy a peach.”
