The old lady said, "Daughter, hand the gentleman the butter." It was the first thing that I had refused, and the reason that I did so was because my plate was full already.

If you should say, "No, madam, I never eat butter," it is a direct insult to the lady of the house.

Better, far better, for you to have remained at home that day.
