Don't mind me askin', Miss - and I know it ain't none of my business, like - but why don't you take 'im up on the offer of a dinner? I mean, gettin' the odd dinner fer nuffin'ain't such a bad thing.
In the book "Birds of a Feather" by Jacqueline Winspear, a character raises a question about why another character is hesitant to accept an invitation for dinner. This suggestion implies that taking advantage of such an opportunity is a positive and harmless choice, especially when it's free. The character’s inquiry hints at a broader conversation about social norms and the benefits of accepting kindness from others.
The dialogue reflects not just the act of dining together, but the social interactions that come with it. The advice given encourages consideration of the joy and connections that can arise from accepting invitations, reminding the other character that it’s okay to embrace moments of generosity without feeling guilty about it.
