Unit 7
While attending a play,the caught sight of a woman he had taken to luncheon twenty years before.At that time his first impression of her was that she was not very attactive,around forty years old and over-talkative.He had been too inexperienced to bring himself to turn down her request to meet at an extrenely expensive restaurant.She started their conversation by assuing him that she would eat only a trifle for lunch.But as she chatted away,she soon appeared to overlook her small appetite and kept on ordering more food.And she seemed to be inclined to order the most expensive food and drink,such as salmon not in season and champagne.In fact,the wicked woman order so much that when author picked up the bill,he was starled to see that he had only just enough money to pay and tip the waiter a mean three francs.Even then the woman did not in the least realize that his modest salary was used up and it would be difficult for him to keep body and soul together for the rest month.But finally he has had his revenge:now she is quite overweight.And he, of course,no longer fees inclined to say yes to a woman just because he is flattered by her attention.
