"Violet can I borrow an apron? I don't want to get anything on my dress." Hyacinth asks as she smoothes her hair.
Violet tosses Hyacinth an apron with a smile on her face. "Hyacinth your husband is being so sweet with you! Did you know Richard was standing there when you were speaking?" Violet asks cheekily.
"No, I didn't know he was standing there, but I'm not upset that he knows. He needed to know. Did you know he was standing there listening to me?" Hyacinth asks as she goes to the fridge to check on what kind of meat they can make for dinner.
"We may have known he was there. We wanted you and Richard to be as close as you were when you first got married. We wanted you back." Daisy says cheekily.
"You knew he was standing there and you let me keep talking! How could you?" Hyacinth asks slamming the door to the freezer.
"You just said that you're glad he knows about the situation! Don't take it out on us!" Rose yells at her eldest sister.
"You're quite right, it's important that Richard knew that secret that I'd been holding on to. Sorry I snapped at you. Should we do a pork tenderloin for dinner?" Hyacinth asks as she calms down.
"Pork tenderloin would be great. It's such a tender meat. Should we do sweet or savoury tenderloin?" Violet asks as she looks in the pantry.
"We could do a mix of the two. I know a great recipe for peach and mustard glazed pork tenderloin. It's gotten rave reviews at dinner parties." Hyacinth suggests.
"That sounds great. What vegetables should we do with the pork?" Violet asks as she pokes her head into the fridge. "We have asparagus, leeks, carrots, beets, and potatoes to work with.
"Why don't we red wine steamed leeks, honey mustard glazed carrots, and garlic mashed potatoes?" Hyacinth suggests.
"I don't know if honey mustard carrots will work. What if do the carrots and the leeks in red wine? Rose counters.
"That sounds like a better plan, Rose. We want the tenderloin to be the star. What about apple pie for dessert?" Violet asks as she looks in the fridge.
"I love apple pie! Apples are such a good companion with pork anytime." Daisy says excitedly.
"I think you make the best pastry Daisy, so we'll put you in charge of making the pie. Hyacinth can make the pork. I'll do the leeks and carrots and Rose can do the garlic mashed potatoes." Violet decides.
"Daisy does make the best pastry. She always has. Mummy always said that. It made me so jealous." Hyacinth says taking the fresh pork tenderloin out of the fridge.
"Yes, but you make better bread, Hyacinth. Mother was always so disappointed in my bread." Daisy says as she goes to the pantry to collect the ingredients for pastry.
"Can you get the peach jam and the dry mustard for me Daise?" Hyacinth asks as she grinds fresh salt and pepper on the tenderloin.
