Laurie listened with care at Cami's directions but watched her run off with bewilderment. How, oh how, were they going to pull this off! Just as she was beginning to despair, a man pulled her aside.

"I would like to help and am not afraid of hard work. Might I have a few slices of bread first, as it has been a whole day since I have eaten? Then I will be glad to do your heavy cleaning and moving the tables where you want them."

Laurie let out a sigh of relief. She grasped his hands in a rush of gratitude. "Thank you so much, good sir! Go right into the kitchens and I'm sure someone will be able to find you more than just a few slices of bread to eat. Then we'll see about helping out." She smiled, and felt much better now that she had at least one helper!
