Answer:
The story luncheon relates incidents full of humour and irony, including the author and the lady in a restaurant, twenty years ago. The author narrates how tactfully he was suggested by a lady to meet her at a huge grade restaurant Foyot. Given the poor economic condition of the author at that time, meeting a lady for lunch at Foyot was ironical. In the name of luncheon, she started placing order after order for highly expensive items from the menu, without bothering about the bill. Unable to reveal his actual position, the author kept giving excuses for not ordering items for himself. Ultimately, he had give away with whatever he had in paying the bill. The author was not a vindictive man so he did not say a word to her but chose to endure. It is in this context, the author says, on seeing the lady after twenty years that embarrasment done to him by the lady was avenged in due course as the lady now weighs twenty one stones.
