  The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared     carefully for what I must    . I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure ____the English for “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right      and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.

It was     that English people didn’t understand their language. The waiter      his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter--- enough to feed a small army--- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left    . When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little     , but you can never     what a waiter’s face really shows. In another minute he brought___ tray with some bacon and some eggs.
