"Don't mind me, Mr. Zeller. I just couldn't resist having a couple of spoonfuls," George said.

Felix made no comment. Seeming frustrated, he asked, "Did we really have to have lunch together at noon?"

"Of course! After the concert, I'm heading back to Yartford tonight. You have no idea when you'll return to Yartford, so we need to catch up!" George replied.
