There were bowls of fresh garden salads, dishes of mince and cottage pie, and trays of golden-brushed pasties. Fluffy mashed potatoes swirled to a point were joined by a pitcher of gravy. A platter of sausages was still sizzling behind the crisp-skinned batter puddings. Wooden boards of freshly sliced bread landed without a sound, the inside of the bread still full of steam and melted butter. There were at least five types of stew, seven more of soups.

There were platters of fresh fruit - lelot melons and plump blackberries - and rum-soaked tortes. Cakes coated heavy with cocoa powder that Aquarius could taste it on the tip of her tongue just by smelling the rich, bittersweet scents. A fountain of smooth, melted chocolate. Even Dan couldn’t hold back a gasp when a well-dressed black forest cake landed on the table, every swirl of chocolate buttercream like the lace edges on a fancy gown.
