I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party〞 means: “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford, and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.〞 Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: “Where are you going?〞 And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

A. Choice. B. Try. C. Style. D. Goal.
