Chapter 21: Breakfast Is a Military Matter
"I am conducting a breakfast operation," said the Marshal-General of the Fleet, with flour on his eyebrow.
"I can see that," Idris said.
"Sit."
Idris sat.
The long kitchen table had been laid for one.
It had been laid with great ceremony: a linen cloth, a cup of tea with a spoon already in it, and a plate of small crisp cakes in a fan.
Dain pushed the plate an inch closer.
"Try one," Dain said.
"Is it safe?" Idris asked.
"It is the result of forty minutes' careful study."
Idris took a cake.
It was crisp at the edges, which no one had ever told Dain, and soft in the middle, and it had honey in it.
He chewed in silence.
The cook, at the range, turned her back and found something urgent to do with a pot.
"Well?" said Dain.
"It's very good."
Something went across Dain's face and left it brighter than any face had a right to be at six in the morning.
"I will make it again."
