| Long abstract | The diners at the Grand Sybaris Hotel are distracted from the chef’s pièce de résistance (described in elaborate detail in the story) by the orchestra playing Pagliacci’s “The Chaplet”. When the conductor signals an encore, the head chef, outraged by the diners’ lack of appreciation of his efforts, attacks him and drowns him by immersing his head in a soup tureen. |
