Отрывок из книги
Although she didn't know it, this was to be the last dinner Laurel would give for a long time. Since it was Indian Summer, the theme for tonight was Autumn Sun. Her centerpiece was a flotilla of chrysanthemums and orange candles bobbing in a crystal bowl. She was trying to surround the bowl with a dozen shot glasses each containing an orange mum, to suggest the sun's rays. But the flowers kept flipping out of the glasses like suicidal goldfish. It had looked so easy on The Home Hostess yesterday morning. She refused to be defeated by a bunch of stubborn flowers. With a final thumb thrust in the center of each flower, she shoved them into their glass holders and tamed them into submission.
Tonight she was entertaining Wes's bosses, his new protegé and their spouses. The table was set: eight gold-rimmed dishes, eight damask napkins folded into fans tucked into eight crystal goblets; eight place card holders Laurel had made herself - tiny pine cones sprayed with gold paint with hand-lettered place cards in each. After moving the place cards around like chess pieces too many times to count, she finally settled on the best seating arrangement she could.
