While Lizette focused on her gym workout, Tatro busied himself with six consecutive phone calls.
Four of them were to Old Mr. Moore, Mrs. Moore, Tansill, and Lion, repeatedly reminding them to come back for dinner as he had a big announcement to make.
The other two calls were made to a restaurant and a cake shop, where he made reservations for Boston lobsters, seafood delicacies, and a three-tiered mousse cake.
Tatro wanted to celebrate in style and let the whole family know that he had secured an exclusive script from the renowned playwright, Allisson.
He was planning a grand celebration.
After finishing her workout and coming down from the gym, Lizette noticed the kitchen staff bustling around but didn't inquire further.
She had some water and went back upstairs.
...
At five o'clock, Mrs. Moore returned, followed by Old Mr. Moore accompanied by Claus.
