First ofall, he wrote out a long list of all the foodswhich were forbidden. The list included most ofthe things Herbert loves: butter, potatoes, rice,beer, milk, chocolate, and sweets. Yesterday I paidhim a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised tosee that Herbert was still as fat as ever. He led meinto his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel underhis desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he wasdoing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was sostrict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of theparcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
