"Hurry up, dear." Jane's voice sounded, breaking Sylvia's reverie as she gawked at the picture-perfect family portrait.
Both Mikel and the special guest had not yet arrived, but they had to start arranging the silverware and the dinner plates.
Sylvia neatly folded the cloth napkins, while Jane went around placing the silverware and the plates.
Even though there were only two or probably three parties dining tonight, the duo still made sure to carefully set up all the seats at the huge dining table.
After making sure all the cutleries were lined accurately, Jane then started arranging the various dishes around the table.
She carefully took out each one and placed it near the head of the table, rather than the center so that the guests could easily reach them if they wanted to.
Sometimes, they preferred the dishes being served to them, while at other times, they preferred some privacy.
