She and Kate sat together at the dining table picking at garlic-flavored cornick (corn nuts) after Mrs. Lapuz had helped Mr. Lapuz off the couch and into bed. Kate talked about subdivision matters like announcements about a potential water service interruption (heard from a roving van and a megaphone) and a little gossip about the neighbors.
