Chapter 1: the boardroom meeting
“As you all know, high tea is a very important part of of a garden party Ladies and Gentlemen.” Melinda stood poised as she delivered a stately speech. She seemed to drone on about the importance of the high tea at a garden party. Every now and then she paused to take sip of her her earl grey. Melinda perched herself on the armchair at the end of the long wooden table. Sabriel sat slumped at the other end,half asleep. While, Ed (or Edwardius) hung on her very word. Eulalie Hicks ever so curious, blurted out questions almost uncontrollably.
Rome started arguing with Melinda throwing insults to her face . The two began a heated exchange— about whether it is appropriate to use a porcelain teacups or bone china teacups. Rome furiously yelled that bone china was far more expensive and superior to porcelain. Melinda was firmly on the side of porcelain. Sabriel sighed and stopped the argument. “Just DO both!” Sabriel was loftier than both a reasoning, she knew much of the qualities and weaknesses. If this board room meeting was going to be like this… the garden party would be in a totally different tune.
