I heard something about you guys and I want you to tell me nothing but the truth,” Aubrey said. “

He made me go through these messes,” Mason said grimly. “There you go again. You caused everything and you ought not to blame others.

Aubrey dished out fried rice and beef to everyone. “Pray for us, Davies,” Aubrey said after she had dished out the last plateful of rice. Davies prayed and everyone constellating around the dining table masticated his or her food. As they masticated their food, the dining room was very silent, as if they were already conversant with table ethics. With the speed they used in carrying a spoonful of rice, one could easily tell that the food was delicious.
