the miracle on Titanic page 12 by ric gustafson.
Wed April 10 1912 8:00 pm
A steward wearing a dark cutaway jacket walked over to the table. " Good evening, my name is Hughes and I will be your host this evening". He handed out menus as he introduced everyone. " Tonight, we have oysters on the half shell, salmon mousseline, lamb chops and mint jelly".
As he filled their water goblets, David wondered how he could talk to Charlene who was sitting at the other end of the table with her brother. It was so noisy in the huge room, he wasn't sure if he could hear her anyway. As people finished their dinner and left the table, he finally had his chance.
" Mother, I'll be right back".
She smiled as she talked with the steward.
" How was your dinner?" he quietly asked as he sat down next to her.
" Fine" she replied as she closed and put her bible on the table. " The lamb chops and mint jelly was very good".
" I don't know much about the bible" he said with a frown as he looked around the room. " I would like to learn more".
She looked at her watch. " Why don't we meet on the deck in twenty minutes?".
" Sure" was his reply as he began to walk back toward his mother. " I'm sure the moonlight is pretty tonight".
David escorted his mother back to her room. " I'm going up to the deck to talk to Charlene".
" Ok, I'll see you in the morning".
