Question

The woman calls the narrator 'a humorist'. Why do you think actually contributes to the humour in the story? How? From chapter The luncheon

Answer 1

The lady actually helps in contributing to the humour in the story by saying that she wants to eat only one thing for the luncheon.

However, when the narrator order all the expensive things then she eat all of them up.

This added humour to the story because it is contradicting her own words.
