Vegetarian Surprise?

Peter Pan author James Barrie was once seated beside George Bernard Shaw at a dinner party. Shaw, a vegetarian, had requested a special dish of greens and dressing - to which Barrie pointed while turning to Shaw. "Tell me," he whispered, "have you eaten that or are you going to?"


Barrie, Sir James Matthew (1860-1937) English journalist and playwright [noted for such varied works as Peter Pan, Better Dead, Auld Licht Idylls, What Every Woman Knows, Farewell Miss Julie Logan, and Adventures in Kensington Gardens]
