When she expressed a wish to work, to paint menus, he would not consent, and when she insisted he became angry He only permitted her to paint pictures. As she had formerly painted for amusement in her father's studio, she might do so now. If trade were a disgrace, art might be honorable.
The persons who sat at the inlaid tables and leaned heavily on their elbows as they scanned the much-fingered menus were a nondescript lot some the riff-raff of the town who found it cheaper to eat at Kai's than to eat elsewhere, others, more respectable in appearance, who doubtless had been drawn to the place by curiosity. "Do you really want to give him a good jolt?" said Bassett to Campbell.
The breakfast bell was rung at the usual time, the meal was served with the usual profusion, even the menus were written as carefully as ever; and some good ladies opined that the captain must be a godless man, because forsooth he did not cringe beneath the wing of the passing Angel of Death. "I am glad I saw that," said Carr, neat and clean, hearty and smiling as usual.
The attempt to force people to be good or to be healthy is merely wasted effort. The chapter devoted to Menus gives definite information regarding the proper manner in which to combine foods and arrange meals.

The aristocracy of Apia was pressed to lunch with us, to commend our independence and to eat our biscuits.
Whatever honorarium he received for his work was expended upon his menus plaisirs or may be said rather to have dribbled from his waistcoat pocket in a series of trivial ex-travagances which won him a reputation for generosity among grooms and such small deer.
If everything went well, she ought to represent at least $40,000 on her wedding day. Perhaps more. He haunted the Country Club by day and the town clubs by night, always preoccupied and figuring, much to the astonishment of his friends and cronies. He scribbled inexplicable figures on the backs of golf cards, bar checks, and menus.
So she slowly disengaged her hand, kissed him again, and with an excuse that she had the menus to write for the dinner-table, went out, leaving him alone. When the door had closed a great sigh sounded through the long, book-lined room, a sigh that ended in a sob. The old man had leaned his chin upon his hands, and his sightless eyes were filled with tears.
