第一部分 TEXT

Last week at a dinner party， the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs.Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large， unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time， she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
‘A new play is coming to “The Globe” soon，’I said. ‘Will you be seeing it?’
‘No，’she answered.
‘Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?’I asked.
‘No，’she answered.
‘Will you be staying in England?’I asked.
‘No，’she answered.
In despair， I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
‘Young man， ’she answered，‘if you ate more and talked less， we would both enjoy our dinner!’
