26、西來就像頭狼。店主：瞧著吧，看他是不是像狼一樣機靈亨利：（剛吃完了所有的東西）喂，服務(wù)員。（服務(wù)員過來了）同樣的東西請再來一份，呃，再來一大杯啤酒。服務(wù)員：每樣?xùn)|西都再來一份嗎亨利：是，沒錯。（看著服務(wù)員臉上的神色）有什么不對嗎服務(wù)員：不，沒什么不對。（對店主）他再要一份同樣的食物。店主：嗯，許多美國人喜歡吃得多，這是大家都知道的。哦，我們得冒點兒風(fēng)險。去吧，讓他吃吧。服務(wù)員：（飯后念賬單）好了。兩份火腿家雞蛋，兩份特厚的牛排，兩大杯啤酒，兩杯咖啡和兩份甜點。亨利：（望著墻上的掛鐘）請等幾分鐘號碼服務(wù)員：（很不耐煩地）還等什么店主：霍勒斯，行啦，這兒由我來照應(yīng)。亨利：（對店主）這餐飯吃得真棒。

27、從生活中如此簡單的東西之中竟能得到這么大的樂趣，真是令人吃驚，特別是當(dāng)你暫時吃不到這些東西的時候。店主：是的，很有意思。如果你現(xiàn)在能付賬的話，我就可以去照顧別的顧客了。亨利：（又望著墻上的掛鐘）好了，我看兩點鐘到了。 （他把信封拆開，那車一張百萬英鎊的 鈔票。亨利感到吃驚，店主和服務(wù)員驚呆了） 很抱歉，我我我沒有小一點兒的鈔票。店主：（還在發(fā)呆，而且有點兒緊張）好嗯，等一會兒?，敿?，來瞧瞧！（女老板尖叫起來，其他顧客都望著她，于是，她用手捂住了嘴巴）你看這張鈔票是真的嗎 女老板：天哪，我不知道。我真不知道。店主：嗯，我確實聽說過英格蘭銀行發(fā)行了兩張這樣面值的鈔票不管怎樣，我覺得這不可能是假鈔。

28、這么大面值的鈔票會特別引人注意的。小偷可不想引起別人的注意。女老板：但是他穿得破破爛爛的！店主：也許他十一哥非常怪異而富有的人。（如夢初醒似的）啊，對了，一定是這樣的。女老板：（在她丈夫的手臂上打了一下）是你把他帶到餐廳后面去的，還不馬上去看看他。店主：（對亨利）先生，對不起，非常對不起，這張鈔票我們找不開。亨利：而我身上就只帶了這張鈔票。店主：哎呀，先生，請別著急，一點兒也沒關(guān)系。我們非常高興你能走進我們這家小吃店。先生，真的，我希望您隨時光臨。亨利：這，你太好了。店主：我太好了不，先生，是您太好了。您什么時候想來就來，想吃什么就吃什么。您就是在這兒坐一下也是我們莫大的榮幸！至于說賬單嘛，先
