I don't know what she was doing. I have better things to do at a
luncheon than to spy on the waitresses. I do know that instead of taking
people's drink orders as they came in she waited until everyone was
there and then took them all at once, except that when she got to me she
was distracted by a question and walked away without taking my drink order.
