Evelyn, to her credit, picked out five different silverware patterns for Dr Lecter to choose from before taking a brief leave to change into her dining attire, because he seems like the sort of person who puts great stock in cutlery. Smoothing the front of her dress before stepping back into the dining room, she appraises the table.

"...I see you chose the Deco pattern," Evelyn comments drily (it was her second favourite) and adjust the chair at the head of the table.

"How are you arranging the guests?"
