the great egg souffle caper page 4

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. Elnora figured that she had just enough for the crowd that was coming. She did worry because she only had one egg soufflé dish in case the crowd was larger.
When the service ended, the line began to form down the stairs.
Pastor Greerson put a comforting hand on her shoulder. " How is it going Elnora?".
She noticed that he was one of the first in line.
" We're doing fine so far".
" I got in line because I was hungry". He filled a plate and sat down.
" We need some more egg soufflé upstairs".
Elnora turned to see a young man who was dressed casually. She did not recognized him but figured he was helping Marjorie upstairs.
" I have an extra egg soufflé dish warming up". She wiped sweat from her brow. " You can take it". She got the hot dish and handed it to the young man.
" Thank you". He carefully picked up the dish and ran up the stairs.
After the crowd had died down, Elnora sat down and prayed that more egg soufflé would be coming.
