I【G1】________her at the play and in answer to her beckoning I went over during the interval and sat down beside her. It was long since I had last seen her and if someone had not mentioned her name I hardly think I would have【G2】________her. She addressed me brightly.
" Well, it’s many years since we first met. How time does fly! We’ re none of us getting any younger. Do you remember the first time I saw you? You asked me to luncheon. "
Did I remember?
It was twenty years ago and I was【G3】________in Paris. I had a tiny apartment in the Latin Quarter overlooking a cemetery and I was earning barely enough money to keep body and【G4】________together. She had read a book of mine and had written to me about it. I answered, thanking her, and presently I received from her another letter saying that she was passing through Paris and would like to have a【G5】________with me; but her time was limited and the only free moment she had was on the following Thursday; she was spending the morning at the Luxembourg and would I give her a little luncheon at Foyot’s afterwards? Foyot s is a restaurant【G6】________which the French senators eat and it was so far beyond my means that I had never even thought of going there. But I was flattered and I was too young to have learned to say no to a woman. (Few men, I may add, learn this until they are too old to make it of any consequence to a woman what they say.) I had eighty francs(gold francs) to last me the rest of the month, and a modest luncheon should not cost more than fifteen. If I cut out coffee for the next two weeks I could manage well enough.
I answered that I would meet my friend—by correspondence—at Foyot’s on Thursday at half past twelve. She was not so young as I【G7】________and in appearance imposing rather than attractive. She was, in fact, a woman of forty (a charming age, but not one that excites a sudden and devastating passion at first sight) , and she gave me the impression of having more teeth, white and large and even, than were necessary for any practical purpose. She was talkative, but since she seemed inclined to talk about me I was prepared to be an attentive listener.
I was startled when the bill of fare was brought, for the prices were a great deal higher than I had anticipated. But she【G8】________me.
" I never eat anything for luncheon, " she said.
" Oh, don’t say that! " I answered generously.
" I never eat more than one thing. I think people eat far too much nowadays. A little fish, perhaps. I wonder if they have any salmon. "
Well, it was early in the year for salmon and it was not on the bill of fare, but I asked the waiter if there was any. Yes, a beautiful salmon had just come in, it was the first they had had, I ordered it for my guest. The waiter asked her if she would have something while it was being cooked.
"No, " she answered, "I never eat more than one thing. Unless you had a little caviare. I never mind caviare. "
My heart sank a little. I knew I could not【G9】________caviare, but I could not very well
tell her that. I told the waiter by all means to bring caviare. For myself I chose the【G10】________ dish on the menu and that was a mutton chop.
