Maude Lexington used to live on Park Avenue in Manhattan, but when her husband took the job as president of the state university branch here in Plainville, she reluctantly moved along with him. I waited on her once at the Pig and Fry, right after they moved to town. First thing I noticed was that she didn't make eye contact with anyone but her husband, and every time she looked at him he wilted like a daisy on a hot day. She told me to bring her the most expensive thing on the menu, but when I brought her the smoked catfish salad — which is absolutely delicious — she turned up her nose like it was a plate of dirt and worms. "I should have you fired on the spot for bringing me this abomination! Do you know who I am? I am descended from royalty!" And on and on like that. She grabbed her mink coat — or fox, or badger, or whatever it was — and stormed out, still with no eye contact and her nose in the air. Her poor husband apologized over and over and left a big tip, and then he scurried out after her.
