While Ebert and Virgil were tearing each other apart in the council over the missing gold, Lucas, Shelley, and Zane were seated around a table, heartily devouring the steaks on their plates.
Zane's eating style was very hearty; he cut a large piece of steak from the middle, skewered half of it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
He then gulped down an entire glass of red wine, chewing vigorously as the juices and wine dribbled down the corners of his mouth. He praised while eating, "Inspector, this steak is fantastic! And the wine is great too!"
Lucas and Shelley ate with a bit more restraint, but still far from true dining etiquette.
Cutting a piece of beef and placing it in his mouth, Lucas savored the tender, juicy meat, an indescribable pleasure. A sip of red wine made his taste buds feel completely satisfied.
