Humorous instanceLine from the story
The woman is a voracious eater.“Follow my example, and never eat more than one thing for luncheon.”
She says she eats nothing but orders costly dishes.“I never eat anything for luncheon.”
She criticises the narrator for his single cheap chop.“I think you’re unwise to eat meat.”
She pretends not to want asparagus.“I’m not in the least hungry, but if you insist, I don’t mind having some asparagus.”
The narrator plans to pretend his pocket was picked.He would put his hand in his pocket and with a dramatic cry say it had been picked.
The narrator’s witty reply.“I’ll do better than that, I’ll eat nothing for dinner tonight.”
His ‘revenge’ at the end.Today, she weighs twenty-one stone.
