Supper in the castle- Part 1

When the plate clattered, Madeline shifted her gaze from Calhoun to look at her right, to see Sophie's plate that had moved against the glass next to it. Sophie's eyes had widened for some reason. Not to forget there was another sound that came from the side where she was sitting that caught everyone's attention.

It took a second more, following everyone's line of gaze, when she noticed Beth's face that was splattered with the crab and its seasoning. The crab had gone to slide and fall down on Beth's chest. Madeline's eyes widened over the sight, wondering how the crab got there. Did Sophie throw the crab on her sister's face?

Beth looked agitated but she tried not to show her rage now. She glared at Sophie.

"Oh my! Are you alright, dear?" asked Lady Rosamund to Beth. Mrs. Harris, who was sitting next to Beth, took hold of the crab to drop it on another plate and cleaned the mess on her face.
