A verbose recount describes a lavish dinner party at the Varyer House Inn attended by a lawyer and guests. Courses include soup, trout, and a grand fish, with tension as the host attempts to manage portions and etiquette. The guest, Sutting, displays appetite while others react to the meal and the unfolding social scene. The event ends with a hush, a departure, and reflections on the dinner's significance.
