Why this must be read:The whole thing's so amusing. The set-up is that Harry takes Sarah out to a posh seafood restaurant for dinner and won't tell her why. The reason, once it emerges is amusing (yet strangely logical). Then the way Harry acts over dinner is amusing too. But what really sells it is the prose, an example of which follows.
Fortunately the waiter did seem to have Harry’s survival - or at least his own gratuity - in mind, and showed up at their table a few moments later.
“I’ll have the halibut,” Sarah informed him without looking up. “And martini.”
“The white wine tonight is particularly well-suited to--”
“A martini sounds smashing,” Harry interrupted. It wasn’t the waiter’s fault that he’d stepped into the middle of Sarah on one of her rampages, and Harry was rather of the opinion that allowing the poor fellow to continue in that vein might violate his Hippocratic Oath, or at least implicate him as an accessory to manslaughter. “I’ll have one as well - shaken, please.”
“And for your entree...?” the waiter suggested, as though he rather thought Harry might like just the martini, if perhaps the restaurant could provide him with a glass large enough to drown himself in.
