The lilac-scented invitation read "After 6", but there was no post meridian mark. So Briscoe and Ethel-Lucy Cranston showed up at the manor dressed in their cocktail best, looking for coloured martinis before breakfast. The cook made oatmeal, and Ethel-Lucy, though she would never admit it, bit her lip and swore. Briscoe felt quite awkward.
The normal post will appear shortly after 6. That is, in the evening. You are all cordially invited.
Please bring your own martinis.
