The French Pastries

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I walked into a room passing out mints.  That's always a good way to break the ice with complete strangers.   I walked in and see an elderly lady lying in bed.  There is a middle-aged lady standing at the foot of the bed.  There is a middle-aged man sitting of the couch.

They were all very friendly and after I offer them some mints, the lady offers me a French pastry from a very expensive bakery.  The lady is very gracious and insists that I eat one.  I take one and it is delicious!

As I ate it, crumbs fell on the floor!  I finish eating while the folks in the room chat with the patient.  The patient's name is Raphael, and she is an odd one indeed!  She has a deep voice with a French accent!

The three of them didn't speak like everyone else.  They spoke like very wealthy people spoke.  They speak like they live in a very different world from the rest of the world.

Anyway, I finished eating the delicious pastry and struggled to clean up the floor of all of the crumbs around the table that I was sitting on!  The man on the couch kindly gives me some napkins that he had with him.  I finally got most of it cleaned up!
