Christmas Lunch Christmas Past

rang the bell.
"But hello!" Rang Mrs Angela. "Come in! Welcome to our humble home. "
Mr. Andrew, whose family name was rarely entered. His worn shoes with rubber soles made noise on the floor waxed. Ms. Angela noticed that it did not take the hair twisted in his hands as the poor had seen in fiction. She begged him to follow her. They went into a dining room with long tables set up for the holidays. Red, white, gold, crystal, silver, ribbons, bows, paper angels, centerpiece of impeccable taste.
There were ten other people standing in various corners of the rectangular room, which is illuminated by a glass door. You could not see the garden because the curtains of lace from Burano.
"Dear friends," cried Mrs. Angela, "It is our new friend ... uh ..."
"Andrea."
"Oh, dear Andrea, please, sit down. Here, beside me. Now I present all his new friends. But it is not nice this idea? "
Lunch lasted four hours.
Ms. Angela sat rarely, despite the presence of Filipino cook and his cousin, co-opted as a maid for Christmas. It was important that the cribs in puff pastry on each plate were prepared correctly, that the number of shrimp were the same for all, that the sauce was placed on the right side of the fish, that the turkey was presented with a specific number of slices of potato, and that the peas do not come out while the artichokes were served. The sorbet was to be served only by tapping the stem of the glass to not spoil the effect of ice on the glass right out of the freezer, and slice of Christmas cake served with a square tip up, to rumble.
And so it was.
between courses, each in turn was a nice question to Mr Andrew to make him feel at home, in a simple, quiet people.
"Where were you born?"
"Where you from?"
"He has worked?"
"Family?"
"What books do you read?"
"prefers to invest in stocks or bonds or have a mixed portfolio?" A
end of the meal, the tolling of eighteen, Mr. Andrew thanked and left.
"Well, it was not bad. We were good to join the initiative calls a homeless person to lunch, do not you think? "Mrs. Angela lit a candle scent eats where he was sitting just before Mr. Andrea. He paused for a moment, looked around. "But holy polenta! He ripped the silver spoon! "
Mr. Andrea lit a cigarette butt he found on the ground. He turned the corner. He paused for a moment, looked around.
"But shit! I have scrubbed the box! "
