get something to eat. An. We're in
the Strand now. Look out, you don't
want TO miss this"
At any other time Helen would have
been hanging out the CAB window.
drinking in the lights and crowds, but
now she leaned back listlessly.
Here we are" as Warren helped
her out before the most famous chop
house in London
IL is a huge place with modern ad-
ditiOns. but Warren made straight for
the main room. in the old part.
Very Secluded
Helen WIS glad OF the stall like ar
rangements of the seats, for there was
an air OF seclusiOn in the leather
cushioned partitions which shielded
them from the gaze of the other
diners.
Bring a footstool and a glass of
sherry and bitters for the lady" de-
manded Warren. III take a Scotch
highball. Rush those on and then
I'll give you the order"
Dear. I don't want a thing but
some chicken broth"
That's all right. You just lean
back there-I'll do the ordering"
The service at Simpsons is prompt
and efficient. and in a very short time
two large grilled chops, smoking from
the Goals; some freshly baked pOta-
toes with bursting jackets and an or
der of grilled tomatoes were before
them.
Warren cut up one Of the chops for
Helen. opened a huge potato and fixed
il up with butter and paprika.
There" pushing back her plate.
i've humored you that much, now
pitch in"
Everything was delicious. Perhaps
it was the change from the more
fancily cooked dishes in Paris that
made this dinner seem so good.
Helen began by tasting things gin
gerly, then she ate most ravenously.
She was hungry, II was humiliating
to admit that food just plain hearty
foOd-could make her feel better so
quickly. But just now Warren was
too busy boiling his own dinner TO
make triumphant remarks.
1.-TWO mugs of half and half" he or
dered. "And-hold on there, waiter
any Bubble and Squeak tonight"
YES sir, it's on the specials"
"Ali right; bring on an order"
Bubble and Squeak" repeated
Helen.
That's a famous old English dish,
and they know how to make il here.
Perking up are yOu?" as he put an
other grilled tomato on Helen's half
empty plate.
Warren is Right.
Eyes, dear. 1 was hungry" she ad-
mitted humbly
"Of course you were" genially.
you can't take that channel trip on
an empty stomach and not be knocked
out. And when you feel like that you
don't want any fancy "a la. What
YOU want is good plain food, and you
can't beat this place for that"
Sorry 20 keep you waiting. sir. but
they had 10 cook it fresh" apOlogized
the waiter. as he now brought on
covered dish.
Nov here's your Bibble and
Squeak" and Warren helped Helen
literally to the delicately Drowned
mixture.
why it's just mashed potatoes
with cabbage-and then baked!' eX-
claimed Helen investigating it with
her fork.
Yes but Just mashed potatoes and
cabbage don't make Bubble and
Squeak There's a whole lot in how
it's done Ever taste anything better
than that"
Just then a stout. white-bearded
white-capped carver showed by a roll
ing stand of roast beef and mutton.
He stopped at the stall next TO theirs
and Helen watched him carve a thick
slice or req, Juicy roast Deei'
Guess that old guys been here 80
years" said Warren. He carved for
me seven years ago and was a veteran
then Look at that mutton-there's
mighty few places you'd see a joint
like that. And watch him slice it
that carvings a work of art"
"Oh, l really can't eat any more, 3"
laughed Helen as a moment later
Warren put another grilled tomato on
her plate.
"All right. Guess you've done
pretty we'll Feel better"
Yes. dear. SO much better
Fine Now we'll not spoil this din
ner with any desert. Simpsons is no
place for sweets. But little Stilton
cheese won't be bad. Then We'll take
a cab right back to the hotel get a
good hot bath and turn in. BY morn
ing vOu'U feel like a fighting cock"
