Explore "The Master of the Mill" by Frederick Philip Grove on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The dinner-party at Clark House was an old people's party. Twenty guests sat around the board in the 'small' dining-room; with the one exception of Lady Clark there was no one less than sixty years old. Apart from her, there were only three women: Mrs Tindal, Mrs Beatty and Miss Charlebois.
The meal was excellent; the wines a marvel of selection; the service, under the young butler's direction, flawless.
