William's breakfast preparation was quite simple: homemade oatmeal porridge, egg and bacon salad, toasted bread, and some pickles he had made.
In the morning, he had already been busy in the kitchen, initially preparing only enough for him and Amy. Unexpectedly, Alice showed up early with guests in tow for breakfast.
The key issue was that she had bought so many ingredients; it would seem somewhat unfair not to let her join the meal.
Regardless of who those two children were or what their purpose was, since they had entered his house, they were considered guests.
A breakfast was certainly due.
"You go ahead and eat, first take these to the kids," William prepared a portion for Amy, as he had promised Maria the night before to attend a parent-teacher meeting for Amy, expecting her to come looking for him in the morning.
