The Prince and The Pauper (Chapter 7)

Chapter 7: Tom's First Royal Dinner.

One afternoon, Tom was very reluctant to find himself dressed for dinner. Even though the clothes he wore were different but this time it was very luxurious. It was the first time he had dinner with the royal family. The dinner was held in a luxurious apartment with gold and magnificent decorations.

All those present were well prepared for one hour. Tom was very careful not to show his peculiarities to anyone present at the dinner. Tom checks the turnips and lettuce with interest and asks what the radish is and could it be eaten? The question was answered respectfully by the traveler without suspicion. After enjoying a tasting dish Tom filled his pocket with beans. He did it without doubt that he was doing something that was very inappropriate to do.

Suddenly Tom experienced an oddity in his face, his nose felt very itchy cruel and dripped tears on Tom's cheeks. In the end Tom wondered to ask if he made a mistake. After the meal ended, someone lord came and held before him a wide and shallow gold plate with fragrant rose water inside to clean Tom's fingers and mouth.


The next mistake was that Tom didn't realize that he got up and stood behind the pastor with his eyes raised and eyes closed. Upon his own request, Tom was taken to the cabinet and left alone. There, Tom thought to finish the peanut beans he took from dinner and eliminate them. When the bean runs out Tom finds a book about British court etiquette. He lay on a luxurious couch, and taught himself with an honest spirit.
