HENDRY suggested that the reunion dinner should take place at the Oyster Club, of which he was a member. As Hendry was the unofficial secretary of this reunion business the other three men readily fell in with his suggestion, particularly Warren, who had never entered its imposing portals—that is, not until the night of the dinner. "Why is this place named the Oyster Club ?" he queried, soon after the fish had been served, "The oysters were not bad, but I have had better." "Doubtless. The chef does not specialize in the first three courses. His name is Alfred Thomas Smith, and not even you, Warren, with all your optimism, could expect a chef with a name like that to favour 'them fiddlin* Continental dishes*. But you put our Alfred Thomas on to a juicy steak, or a Yorkshire pudding, or a boiled treacle pudding. The name of the club has no culinary significance. You must look up your Shakespeare. 'The world's mine oyster.1 " |
