He looked tired and now and then he smiled a little weakly. While other diners wolfed down huge planks of roast beef and mountainous ice cream and fruit concoctions, he rolled a boiled potato around his plate as though it was something less than a loose ball and made uninspired passes at some specially prepared orange juice he had brought with him from Maryland...
