what would you have done if you were in the authors place ? the luncheon
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The author Somerset Maugham frequently wrote frankly autobiographical short stories. "The Luncheon" is one of them. He was conned into treating the woman to a luncheon at Foyot's in Paris because he was still quite young, was just getting started in his chosen career as a writer, and was concerned about good manners. He tells the reader why he couldn't refuse to take this pushy woman to Foyot's at her request.
Foyot’s is a restaurant at 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 was too young to have learned to say no to a woman.
lf l were in the authors place l might have ignored her letter particularly her request to visit Foots. l knew that it was a very expensive restaurant. I am a realistic person and would remain realistic in that regard.
