Family Reunion Part II

At the head of the table sat Berengar; to his left was Linde, to his right was Adela; as for his other two wives, they flanked both sides of the table, followed by Henrietta and her parents. On the other edge of the seating, was where all the children were sitting in high chairs since they were far too young to sit in a regular seat, aside from Hans that is, who sat in his own seat with his small feet dangling from the air. 

For the past few minutes, since they ate the lunch prepared for them by the kitchen, this large family sat in complete and utter silence. An awkward silence prevailed as the only sound that could be heard was the people gathered, munching on their food. While this was going on, Henrietta glared across the table at her mother with a bitter stare.
