Twenty years earlier, the lady had eaten the most expensive dishes at Foyot’s at his cost, while pretending to eat very little and lecturing him about eating too much. He was left without a penny for the rest of the month. Now she has become very fat, weighing twenty-one stone. He did nothing to harm her, but feels that the gods have punished her greed, so he observes the result with satisfaction and calls it his revenge.
