Somewhat unexpectedly, they are served with a pilsner rather than a wine. Then the main courses you ordered come next. The lamb is perfectly cooked and the sauce rice and complex. Grond is very pleased with the massive medallions of beef tenderloin that are placed before him. Ms. Butterflake's portions are much smaller, but she is no less pleased. Glimmerdwang takes obvious satisfaction in fish as well. The wine pairings all seem to work well and Michael finds he goes through most of his bottle by himself. A salad course is next. It has a little dressing made with champagne vinegar and some citrus juice as well as oil and fresh herbs. Next a cheese course with with three cordial sized glasses, two of wine including a port and a saturne as well as a lager is presented next. As she starts on this course, Ms. Butterflake finally comes up for air. "Ah, may I change what I said earlier about a husband. I think I'm in love." She returns to the list picking it up as if she had forgotten it was at her elbow all the time. Between nibbles of cheese and sips from the small glasses she places her spectacles back on her nose and comments, "No, you'll have to do better on the larger quantities. If I'm going to be buying tons salt and pepper you're going to have to give me a good volume discount. I can get ginger and cinnamon cheaper than that with ease. Of course you are selling the lavender a little short. Bad crop this year, I've had to pay more than usual." Finishing the lager along with a cube of sharp cheddar she says, "So Captain, how bad do you want to sell the salt, pepper, peppercorns ginger and cinnimon. If you can make me a better deal there, I'll buy the rest at your asking prices." Glimmerdwang is grinning from ear to ear, Michael can't tell if it is the wine the Gnome has consumed or amusement at the lady's aggressive deal-making. Grond is quiet now, perhaps dulled by the wine and massive consumption of red meat.</blockquote>
