"Now the Earl and his husband shall commence the banquet with a dance."
The announcement booms through even without the mechanism of a mic and to my surprise, it's Frank who had just made the announcement. Standing tall and distinguished at his five foot seven, I think. I am not a scale monitor but I can only guess as much. His voice is echoing and it does so clearly, paves the way for a slow rise of the harmonic thrill of the music by the group of distinguished orchestra nesting in their regale right beside the stairways, elevated on a podium.
They play a straight gliding tone that wavers throughout the walls of the party hall but equally arouses the frisson among the audience. I look around at the rise of excitement, my body starting to vibrate.
"So I guess here we go…" I murmur, more to myself with delicacy.
It had totally slipped up from my mind.
