Humor in "The Luncheon"

Humor is something that is funny, comical, or amusing. There are many types of humor, and what appears humorous to one person may not be humorous to another. Humor can also describe as a mood or a state of mind. Which we found in Somerset Maugham’s short story “The Luncheon” that derives from the fact that the narrator is trying to appear sophisticated, urbane and gallant, whereas he really can’t afford to be entertaining this woman in such an expensive restaurant as Foyot’s. He feels relieved initially because she tells him, “I never eat anything for luncheon, “ and then he is appalled when she orders some of the most expensive items and she does not even think a bit about the costs the speaker would have to pay for the lunch.
