Oh, come on. I don't believe she did that to avoid being asked to
leave only because she was embarrassed anyone would know how much she
was eating. When still in college, my friends used to do a Christmas
Day get together in the Crown Room at the Fairmount hotel. We were a
group of 14-20 depending on the year. We stayed there literally for
hours and went back for food many, many times. We were *never* told
to leave or even given "the bum's rush". Life was good back in those
days.
