And then there is silence

Today is very different from yesterday, at least for the moment.  As it turns out, as though out of sympathy for our now departed cook, two of the other members of our staff are missing in action today.

There is an almost erie silence in these parts this morning as the telephone has hardly rung, and only a few scant visitors have trodden the steps leading to our door.  How different this is compared with the frenetic pace which otherwise is customary in these parts.

We'd best enjoy the moment of reprieve, for we know never when it will be interrupted.
