Cry Fowl

So when my server came by and asked, for what seemed like the hundredth time, if everything was all right, I finally snapped and just said no. I broke my own rule of never sending anything back, never drawing attention to myself, and asked for the dessert to be taken away and my check to be brought.

While I was waiting, a busboy topped off my water glass. Then a second one came by, filling it to within a quarter-inch of the rim. A third one looked like he might make a move on that last little bit of space, but I grabbed the check before he could make up his mind.

And I discovered that Sparrow had finally done something right: It had taken the baked Alaska off the tab.
