Dinner in your room

To the next lesson

You are staying in your room for the evening and order dinner for a fixed time: Please bring dinner up to my room at 7 pm.

The police officer at your side is reading something and eating a bread ring (please bring), the servant is wearing a mink coat (dinner), and the food comes through an opening in the door as a parcel with a cloth over it (up to); a lily of the valley lies on the cloth and a bottle of rum stands underneath (my room). Then you change the order to tea, which spills over and forms a lake (at seven), and what splashes afterwards looks as if a little mouse had peed on it (pm).
