Alice:	Not	for breakfast, no.
Mamoo: For breakfast. You remember him just by himself?
Alice:	Yes.
Mamoo: Alright.
Alice:	Just us. Nobody else. And the butler. A butler with a
white jacket. And Grandpapa looking very composed.
Mamoo:	He	always had a napkin tied up around his neck.
What did he look like?
Alice:	I'd	like to give you a picture of him.
Mamoo:	He	was florid. Florid skin.
Alice:	White beard and white hair. Very calm and quiet and cool
and collected, ALWAYS.
Was he very tall?
Mamoo:	No,	no,	not	tall. Plus he was always sitting down in this
great big chair.
How big was the table? How many would the table seat?
Mamoo:	Oh	my land, at least ten people.
Alice:	How many if you	opened it up? It wasn't opened	up.	He
might have had six or eight people at breakfast.
Mamoo:	But	I mean it was a large round table.
Alice:	But I've never heard of that many people for breakfast.	He
always	had the butler	and Grandpapa and all of us	sort	of
snuggling in.
Did you all ever get	in trouble with him? Would	he ever
reprimand you all for anything?
Alice: Did we...
Mamoo: Not that I remember.
Alice: The thing is. . .
