Part 11

The feast was magnificent. Sir Diddymus had come and escorted her down to the banquet hall. He had bowed to her and she had curtseyed back, then she had walked next to him as he showed the way to the hall. When she had got there, Hoggle and Ludo were already seated and waiting for her. She smiled at them then here eyes followed from them to the table in between, it was filled completely with silver and gold plates and goblets. On the plates she saw that there were many richly prepared foods, fit for a king, there were several platters of different meats, fruits, vegetables, cakes and desserts, some of which she had recognised and others she had never seen before. She sat herself down in the large chair at the top of the table that Hoggle had pulled out for her, making sure she didn't get tangled up in her dress.
