[OTA] Final Details
A couple months work with a pair of surprisingly capable helpers - and a third who was good at taking care of the more delicate odds and ends - and the pub was pretty much done. Not open yet, of course, but if you managed to get past the tall Scot working on the outside window, you'd see a fairly impressive sight.
Still, Ben was likely to keep people from doing that kind of thing. The pub wasn't opening until the first of February, for all that he'd moved in upstairs and stocked the bar and the kitchen. He was taking care of the last details right now; a notice had been pinned to the door announcing that he was looking for a cook and a waitress or two, and he was standing outside, meticulously adding the gilted letters of "Mackinnon's" to the front window.
It was that sort of thing that made a pub truly a pub.
