this happened many years ago when i lived in paris and was very poor. a lady had read a book of mine and wanted to have a talk with me. she asked me to give her a small luncheon at a restaurant, which she named. i was very young and i couldn’t say “no” to a lady. i had only eighteen francs, all the money till the end of the month. “a small luncheon will not cost more than fifteen francs”, i thought.
so we met at the restaurant, which she had chosen. she was a woman of forty, and she talked a lot. when the waiter brought the menu, i saw that the prices were very high, but she said, “i never eat much for luncheon”. and she ordered a piece of salmon. “will you have anything while we are preparing it? ” asked the waiter. “no”, she answered, “i never eat more than one thing. i want caviar”. i knew that i had not enough money to pay for caviar, but i couldn’t tell her that. for myself i ordered the cheapest thing on menu, a beefsteak. “what will you drink? ” i asked her. “my doctor lets me drink only champagne! ” it seemed to me that my face became white…
she ate the caviar, and ate the salmon, she drank champagne and took a peach, which was not in season. she talked of art, literature and music… but all i wanted to know was what the “small” luncheon would cost me.
“you know”, she said as she was eating 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 eat luncheon, then i never eat more than one thing”.
the bill came, and when i had paid it, i had the whole month before me and not a penny in my pocket. i am not a bad man. but i’m glad that today she weighs more than three hundred pounds. so i had my revenge at last.
