#53: 24 Paté People

Lord Northbrooke used two fingers
to scoop another sizeable dollop
of the duck and champagne paté
onto his brioche.
'Ah haw haw haw,' the toff clowned racistly,
raising his steel-coloured eyebrows
the way he imagined a Frenchman might.

The gathering wolves were unimpressed.
They now filled at least 70% of the billiard room.
Two stood on the pianoforte
and more were coming down the chimney.
