   Hi, Anton Shepelev - Alexander Koryagin!   
   I read your message from 22.05.2020 14:23   
      
    AS> Hey! The phrase "I forgot he was vegetarian!" (with!?! was' and no   
    AS> article before!?! vegetarian') is a quote from the book! Do insist   
    AS> on correcting the language of Ramsey Campbell???   
      
   Well, taking in mind that it was a horror story, it could mean:   
   1. He stopped be a vegetarian after that meal.   
   3. He was a vegetarian and died from that meal.   
      
   As for the absence of "a" before "vegetarian" I don't know. IMHO   
   Englishmen can live without articles if they want. We see it when we   
   read news titles, for instance. ;)   
      
   Bye, Anton!
