A Tavern Dinner


A PARTY of bon-vivants, having drunk an immense quantity of wine, rang

for the bill. The bill was accordingly brought, but the amount appeared

so enormous to one of the company (not quite so far gone as the rest)

that he stammered out, it was impossible so many bottles could have been

drunk by seven persons. True, sir, said the waiter, but your honor

forgets the three gentlemen under the table.
