Charlie, as the brothers and sisters fondly called him at that time,strode forth into the dining hall and loudly proclaimed "as chief gaffer around here I would like to inform you all, that the eggs and bacon are not up to much today but don't concern youself as there are sprouts for supper."
"Good morning all." he cheerfully said and speaking to a very young judge in waiting said "get out of my frigging chair I call the shots around here and make sure we get a regular supply of good coal it's cold enough to freeze the ancient worthies ." He proceeded to enlighten the gathering by prohecying that in five years time we shall be very much a part of the mighty world empire of false religion.
Just as the entire gathering were about to pick up their knives and forks and tuck in.Kindly Bro. Russel then went on to say " there is a war coming ,no i'm not refering to the big A ,that will come around at various times just like the Brooklyn bus service.This war is over in Europe, well not over, over, as it's not started yet, but no sweat we won't be fighting as we do not believe in democracy ."
He then concluded by saying, "as it is October , would everyone who intends to be here for the christmas dinner would they please give their names to the young Bro.Franz sitting over in the corner by himself.You can't miss him; he is there tearing pages out of the King James version.As a final note Bro. Franz has asked me to mentioned that coordinated socks please if you are buying christmas presents."
After breakfast everyone agread that although the toast was black that day the spritual food dispensed was unmatched.
