The grandfather clock in the hallway showed that it was now just after six
o'clock.
They prepared for dinner as best they could - and fortunately the plumbing
seemed
rather more modern than everything else would have suggested. When they
emerged, one
at a time, into the hall they found the butler waiting. When the party was
complete,
he showed them to the dining room.
To their disappointment, the "master" was not yet in evidence. The butler showed them to their seats. There were name-cards on the table, which they found disturbing. How did this "master" know their names? The butler lifted Melissa into a high chair at the foot of the people. She seemed unperturbed by this indignity. She had a set of miniature cutlery at her place.
