Looks at menu thoughtfully, underlining the most interesting dishes with red ink. Draws a chicken drumstick on the napkin.

Catachresis - not just a metaphor

Looks up from the wine list and across towards the door. Should he choose the Sancerre he can afford, or a bottle of Dom Perignon and another of Crystal to compare and contrast, and then make a dash for the exit when the time comes to pay the bill?

Those penguins don't look very quick on their feet.

He orders the champagne.

I wonder if Persephone would accept the offer of two glasses of champagne? Has word with one of the penguins.

Chokes on mouthful of Dom Perignon, astonished that there could be anything usual in a restaurant where the waiters were penguins.

Hmmm. Everything looks so delicious.

I couldn't make up my mind about the champagne, so I drank both bottles (less two glasses given away, of course).

Hmmm.
