Day 62: Intercom, Evening
The intercom chimed at the beginning of the hour, accompanied by the Head Doctor's pointed inflections.
"Goodness! Where did our time go? You would think a simple test would not occupy the entire..."
He trailed off, laughing nervously, the sound coming off closer to breathless from the speakers.
"Er, moving on! Our main course tonight will be fresh salmon, seasoned with the finest herbs and spices available to our kitchen staff and served on a beautiful bed of pilaf. For sides, you have your choice of steamed broccoli or roasted spring vegetables. You're also in for a real treat: Chef Woolstenhulme has prepared golden plum souffles for dessert! And let me tell you--they are simply divine. You will never have anything like it. You'd have to be insane to think otherwise."
There was an abrupt pause, as though the man realized the full extent of his inept phrase.
"...Well, eat up. I will see you at bed time."
The intercom clicked off.
