A HALF-COOKED DINNER 



to remonstrate with our friend but in vain, and as a result 

 dined that night off warm, but half -cooked food. How- 

 ever, we were too hungry to be over fastidious, but it must 

 have been very galling to the cook, after all his scheming, 

 to have to serve up such a meal ! 



Ill
