21.   What about the next table.

22.   Someone at the next table echoed that in a foreign accent and Ruth turned to smile at him and raise her glass in a mutual toast.

23.   He removed the vase and put it on the occasional table next to the wedding photograph.

24.   Yeah, so I mean if you have a win yeah, and a woman that sat on the next table to me.

25.   An important-looking gentleman at the table next to us pulls out his cellular phone.

26.   And although I never actually ate the dessert known as spotted dick, I watched as a guy at the next table enthusiastically consumed the last crumb.

27.   And all the good times we had sitting at our little table next to the big table.

28.   And it is a rite of spring to happen upon stars like Mike Piazza and Eric Karros at the next table at a pizza parlor.

29.   And I watch enviously as the people at the next table devour a huge cote de boeuf, hoping I can snatch an uneaten bone.

30.   And sitting at the next table was Larry Flynt in a gold-plated wheelchair.
