In Which He Felt Weak

She whispered something beneath her breath that sounded like "Oops."

Mona expressed her deepest remorse to Sir John and apologized on his behalf. "Since I was late for the very first supper," she explained.

John gave Mona a cold remark while nodding his head and said, "Your apology is accepted, Mona." "Please do come in."

Lisa was taken aback by the iciness of her interlocutor's statements, and she communicated her surprise. When she looked at John, he seemed to be ruminating over something, and she presumed that this was the case based on what she saw. Because the disapproval that was clearly visible on his face was so extreme, it would make anyone to pause and consider their next move before speaking to him.

Mona drifted in, and despite the fact that it appeared as though she was oblivious of this information, she showed respect for John by giving him a peck on the cheek. "John, you certainly have a rakish good looks about you."

Hennessy responded to Miss Mona on behalf of John, saying, "Thank you very much for your nice comments." John had seen a change in his master's demeanor, so Hennessy answered on John's behalf. After that, he made an announcement that went something like this: "I have a feeling that everybody is here. It is now time to begin preparations for dinner!

During the game, Lisa observed John take his place at the head of the position as they played. Because John brought his own chair with him, there was none that could be used. The members of the crew were arranged in a circle around the expanded table, and the serving utensils that contained the various provisions were set in front of them.

In collusion with Mona, Lisa disrupted the established order of the crew members' seating arrangements and went to take a seat at the very back of the room.

Paul gave the two women a friendly nod and grin before completing his explanation, which was as follows: "Guests sit close to the hosts."

Hennessy continued by saying, "Your seat is next to Master John, Miss Lisa," before casting a glance in the direction of his master, who remained mute during the entirety of the exchange.

The look of dread and horror that was flitting over Lisa's face became paler as time went on.

Her inner monologue went something like this: "Guest," she murmured to herself, "It's worse than I imagined." As she stepped into the seat next to John and lifted her cheeks ever-so-slightly, she smiled widely at him.

As Lisa slipped the robe over her head, she uttered a grateful acknowledgment to John for providing her with it. Despite the fact that the man was pretentious, she still desired to show her gratitude for the item that had been given to her.

Mona sprang up from her seat in a flutter and stood before John, pretending as if she had no notion that John was in a gloomy mood. She pretended as if she had no idea that John was in a surly mood.

She bowed to the audience. As she glanced at you, a radiant smile adorned her face, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. After that, Mona started up the next part of her chat with an upbeat "Of course, and many thanks for your assistance, Sir John." I treasure it with each and every one of my breaths. You really ought to understand that nobody ever. Lisa's interruption was met with a tight smile as she said, "Mona, we'll discuss after supper." "We'll chat after dinner." She was giving Mona a stealthy gaze with her eyes, which had the shape of a doe's eye and were bluish-black in color. When Mona was told by her glance to return to her seat, she did so with a look that conveyed her apprehension even though she knew what she should be doing.

"Behave Mona. Just do as I say, okay. This event gives off the impression of being quite solemn. Lisa mumbled, "It's advisable to keep your mouth shut because the majority of people don't talk much during formal parties," suggesting that it would be preferable to refrain from speaking.

Paul soon joined in the conversation and remarked with a smile, "I hope after supper, Miss Lisa, we can all witness your great skills on the violin." Paul was referring to Lisa's ability to play the violin.

The shocked response from Lisa was a "Oh." "Of course, music. Yes, without a doubt.

The wait staff began with the soup, then proceeded to the appetizer, followed by the main course, and finally concluded with the dessert. Lisa realized that their deserts were different from her own in some ways. In addition to the strawberry tart and panna cotta that the other people brought, she was the only one who brought a crème brûlée.
