Since the table was properly set and all the food was finally properly prepared, Val took a moment to check the time. "Forty minutes. Time to call them all in." Finding the rope on the wall where it always was, he pulled it to ring the bells stationed throughout the various rooms of the building. It had always seemed to be a fairly effective method of calling everyone for meals, since it would normally take forever to search through the rooms individually for so many people. The help was busy enough as it was.
