The mammoth Jacobean table, with its legs and support rails carved like twisted rope, had been covered with pristine white linen.

Each place at the table had been set with glittering Irish crystal, Sèvres porcelain, and no fewer than twenty-four pieces of antique Georgian silver flatware per guest.”
