02 — The Hours

The room at four is not the room at ten. Neither of them is the room you booked.

Move across the evening

Hands working dough in the Nord kitchen before service
The open fire lit in the dining room
The dining room during the single evening seating
Candles burning down at the end of service

The bread goes in.

Nobody has read tonight’s menu. Including us.

The fires are lit.

The room is warm a full hour before anyone arrives.

Everyone sits down at once.

Twenty-four covers, one seating, no second service.

The last plate goes out.

After this the valley is completely black.

The old cellar office, one floor down, laid for ten. Same kitchen, same single seating, and no other tables in the room. It goes as a whole or not at all, which is why it mostly sits empty.
