the great egg soufflé caper page 4 by ric Gustafson
After the 8:00 service started, more egg soufflé came. Elnora and the others warmed up more hot cross buns and poured more orange juice. She figured that she had just enough for the crowd that was coming. But she knew that she only had one extra egg soufflé dish in case the crowd was larger.
When the service ended, the line began to form down the stairs.
" How is it going Elnora?".
She turned to see Pastor Greerson. He was one of the first in line.
" We're doing fine so far".
" I got in line because I'm hungry". He filled a plate and sat down.
" We need some more egg soufflé upstairs".
Elnora turned to notice a young man wearing torn jeans and a dirty t shirt. She did not recognize him but assumed he was helping Marjorie upstairs. " I have an extra egg soufflé dish warming up". She wiped the sweat from her brow. " You can take it". She got the dish and handed it to the young man.
He smiled. " Thank you". He ran up the stairs.
As the crowd died down, Elnora prayed that more egg soufflé would be coming.
