“Thank you.”
“Are you satisfied with the white linen, or would you prefer to have black linen?”
“I'm sorry, what?”
“Would you prefer the white linen or the black linen?”
“White … black … ? Um … ”
“The white linen is fine.”
“Thank you. Enjoy your meal.”
“What was that all about?”
“The napkins. They wanted to know if we prefered using white or black napkins.”
“But why?”
“In case the white napkins clashed with our clothing.”
“I've never encountered anything like that before.”
