I don’t wish to be unpleasant, but would you please settle the bill
After seeing the million-pound bank note, what the waiter said：
We are most gratified that you should so much as set foot inside our little establishment.
The mere honour of your presence is a reward in itself.
As for the bill, sir, please forget it. It’s of no consequence, no consequence at all.

Henry orders ham and eggs, a nice big juicy steak with all the trimmings, and a tall tankard of ale —twice. The waiter is surprised that Henry eats so much food.
3. Why does the owner think Henry hesitates to pay the bill
The owner thinks Henry does not have the money to pay.
4. Why does the owner think the bank note is probably real
Because no one would get into trouble to forge a bill of such a high amount – it would be crazy.
