2. The scene of having a meal without paying money Soapy didn’t give up. He entered a restaurant of no great pretensions, and wanted something to eat and he didn’t have money. He quickly had an idea. “At a table he sat and consumed beefsteak, flapjacks, doughnuts and pie” (Henry, 2004, p.27). After a delicious meal, he told the waiter that he had no money at all. “’Now, get busy and call a cop,’ said Soapy. ‘And don’t keep a gentleman waiting’” (Henry, 2004, p.27). In Soapy’s mind, this time he would succeed in being arrested by the police. However, the truth is “Neatly upon his left ear on the callous pavement two waiters pitched Soapy” (Henry, 2004, p.27) and “A police who stood before a drug store two doors away laughed and walked down the street” (Henry, 2004, p.27). The fact shows that arrest seemed but a rosy dream to Soapy, which enhances the miserable humor efforts, too. 谢谢!
