MD3PAD 385-387

[Toby G Levy]

        Mitzi Redzinger spends her time during the time the storm forces
them to say at the inn by flirting with all the youths that work there.
Finally getting bored with them, she asks Armand if she can help in the
kitchen. Armand begins to teach her French cuisine, allowing her to make
salads and explaining to her all about the importance of how to utilize
the pot-lid, all on, all off, open a bit, etc.

        Wicks is fascinated by Armand. Wicks ruminates on the mysteries
of
the eucharist and how it relates to cooking and eating animal flesh.  He
then goes on to think about the indians who supposedly eat the flesh of
their enemies and all that this means in terms of "the Sacred."

        Mitzi recovers Mr. Dimdown's dagger from the fireplace, cleans
it off, sharpens it and returns it to Mr. Dimdown.  He is horrified that
she tried to sharpen it. But he sees she has done an acceptable job.

        Mitzi flirts a bit with Mr. Dimdown and he apologizes for
threatening Armand.  Mitzi suggests he apologize to Armand but Mr.
Dimdown is afraid to enter Armand's kitchen.
