Dinner at the Patton's and the Answer to Yesterday's Riddle

At 5:50 the whole table is set by Margaret  like always (with the fork and spoon together, the knife separate). 
At 5:55 the food is served, every Tuesday's being roast beef, mashed potatoes, and peas.
At 5:59, a silent blessing between Margaret and James that lasts on average 15 seconds is taken care of.
From 6:00 to 6:15 the food is eaten. The television, out of sight with the volume near maximum, the only contributor to conversation.


Answer: "Dude! You're gettin' Adele!"

    The voice here is interesting. I feel like I can see a bit into their relationship, and Margaret's personality. Very nicely written.

    I wonder if you could do more with sound through the whole piece? I'm assuming the TV was on the whole time? Maybe give us snippets of what's being heard--esp. if it's on through the silent prayer?

    I like the timelog /report tone and structure.
