The buffet was better than anything Jones could have predicted. There was a salad bar laden with cold shrimp, smoked salmon, fresh lettuce, and pickled beets. The main courses included prime rib, lobster, tikka masala, and mushroom quiche. Fresh fruit, strawberry tarts, slices of cake and layered parfaits crowded brownies and cupcakes vying to be dessert. Jugs full of lemonade, ice tea, and cucumber water sat in ice near the plates. Waitstaff guarded the tables. Jones could see that they were checking the buffet tickets carefully. His heart full of longing, Jones tore himself away and headed to the card tables.
