Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scotley" data-source="post: 3522614" data-attributes="member: 11520">The House upon the Strand"Not at all dear, please follow me to your table." She glides along on slippered feet moving smoothly between the press of tables and the rail with a not unpleasant swaying of hips beneath her skirt. There is is but one row of tables along the porch and you'd guess one above as well. Banquettes line the house's wall while the tables have chairs at either end as well. No chairs are placed with a back to the view of the beach. As you walk the hostess asks, "Is this your first visit to the 'House upon the Strand?'" As you reply she stops at a table near the middle of the porch. The Port man motions Michael to the narrow banquette while he takes a chair. A stout serving man is replacing the other chair with one of appropriate proportions for Grond's bulk. The woman hands each of you a simple one page Bill of Fare printed on fine sand colored paper with sea-green ink as you take your seats. "Bethany will be along to take your order momentarily. I hope you'll enjoy your breakfast and become regulars at the House upon the Strand." She gives you all a pleasant smile and adds a pat on the shoulder for 'Gustav' and returns to her station. OOC: Spot checks for Michael and Grond please.</blockquote>
