The Games We Play
Subordinates, editors, and a few golfing companions of various ages in suit jackets and polo shirts flocked under the shade of the veranda.
The table was ready. Mrs. Cameron had already laid out plastic utensils, folded tissue papers, and cups over the arranged paper plates. Water bottles, beer cans, and orange juice lay soaked, cold, in the coolers. Chopped, marinated, and skewered meat lay cooked while the mash and greens rested on the table with the truffles Kitty picked up yesterday. All they had to do was eat.
