一個傍晚,他決定到一家貴一點的餐館去吃飯。進去的時候,他看見一位塊頭很大,好幾年沒見面的朋友獨自坐在一邊。他想了一會兒,記起了這個人的名字,就走過去很禮貌地說:“晦!格雷先生,近來生意可好?”
"Oh, it' s not good at all,” the large man answered.
這位大塊頭回答:“一點也不好。”

喬治看了看格霍先生桌上的美酒佳肴,很驚訝地說:“看來你的生意好像不壞嘛!”
"Well,”Mr. Grey answered sadly, "I'm afraid you’re wrong. A few years ago I was doing very well, and could afford to bring my wife to this place for dinner too.”
格雷先生滿臉愁容地回答:“哦!恐怕你搞錯了。幾年前,生意不錯的時候,我可以把我太太也帶來一塊兒吃晚餐。”
