ABSTRACT
Elizabeth and her team had a meeting prior to the arrival of Hamish, Michael, and Richard, so they are ready and waiting for them bright and early Tuesday morning. The atmosphere is fine, albeit a little tense, but the smell of coffee and hot muffins always makes for a relaxed start. Hamish helps himself to a muffin and a cup of coffee as Elizabeth introduces the consultants. He picks up a tub marked “Authentic English Strawberry Jam” and stares at it for a moment. The word authentic puts him off, so he puts it back onto the dish. A few others top off their drinks, and some have another muffin as they wait for Hamish to kick the meeting off.
