A canopy was set up in the back garden which was close to the back entrance of the kitchen to help the food being served to remain warm during transportation.
Under the canopy was a large table that could easily seat ten members.
Though not everyone had arrived, there were people who had already taken their seats across the table.
The cover above their heads shielded everyone present from the harsh rays of the afternoon sun while the sides were left open, allowing the fresh breeze to blow their way.
"Where are the children?" The Earl who sat at the head of the table questioned his Butler who stood behind him.
Butler Limo glanced around the table to find that the two St. Claire's siblings had not yet arrived.
"I shall send someone over." He bowed while answering and rushed to find a servant to whom he could assign this task.
Rutherford then turned his sights to the remaining people who were already present at the table.
What do you think caused the strange expressions?
