Lord and Lady Devonroe were eating breakfast in the morning room at Castle Earnose. They always ate the same thing - two boiled eggs each that the castle chickens had laid that morning in the garden, and three slices of smashberry jam on toast.

Often, they’d invite two friends to join them, and today Helen and Jensen (who were both regular visitors to the castle because they were friends with Lord and Lady D) had got up nice and early to come and join them.
