Alice looks across the table at Randel, watching as he eats, his manners precise if not precisely aristocratic. But more food is disappearing off the plate than is going into his mouth, and she rolls her eyes when she realizes why.
"If you keep on feeding those stray cats, they will only make more cats," she says.
"If you keep on feeding the poor..." Randel trails off.
She stares at him dumbfounded. Is he actually arguing with her? But he is smiling gently again, and touches her hand across the table.
"We'll make this a better place yet. For everyone."
