Generous stranger

Dear Editor:

Recently a group of four of us were dining at the Elora Mill. It was a birthday celebration for two. We were one of many tables enjoying the magnificent view and the incredible lunch.

As we were getting ready to pay our bill a gentleman sitting at the table behind us got up and asked the waiter to see our bill. We were somewhat confused, however we did not object; our thinking was perhaps he thought we had received his bill by mistake.

The gentleman then proceeded to remove cash from his wallet and paid our bill, including gratuity. Needless to say, we were both shocked and grateful. He would not tell us his name, wanting to remain anonymous.

To this gentleman and his lunch companion, we say again, thank you and merry Christmas!
