No, no… Stephen is OK…This little drama plays out at least once a week at the Tiki, as well.
They look OK when they come in…. sometimes even festive.Then they go sit in a back booth… order some dinner..
Nancy will start a conversation… and suddenly…. the gloom settles on Stephen’s head, like a little black cloud all his own. Occasionally, he’s already in the throes of despair when they walk in….or it will be one of us talking his order that sets him off…We used to feel terrible, and try to offer a word of solace, or apologise… but Nancy would just shake her head.She knows he over-reacts to bad news…
The cafe being out of the liver and bacon, or the soup of the day being split pea..such things make him bury his head in his hands.
She just has to wait… though if she can get him a bowl of rocky road ice cream with a cherry, he sometimes will brighten up when he sees it.
He’s barricaded himself behind the napkin holder, sugar dispenser, salt and pepper shakers and even made a lean-to with his plate. It could be a long wait for Nancy.

Not to mention she now has 2 orders of meatloaf and mashed taters to deal with. Drat, and she so wanted the apple pan dowdy for dessert.

Perhaps a small dry sherry and a dinner roll while you’re waiting, Nancy?

But she hates to do that before dinner.
