She remembered their special tastes, likes and dislikes-all of which she’d learned after only the brief .

“Mr Goldsmith!” our waitress ran out of the dinning room waving a receipt at him, “Thank you.”

“What did you give her?” I asked in a whisper, ____ if he had done something unreasonable or made a calculation error.
