livinginanhgwellsnovelViolet had begun taking her tea in the lab, a place she normally avoided. At first there had been the usual fuss, but she had never much been bothered by the opinions of others who petulantly decided what was the best course of action for her to take. As far as Violet is concerned she can very well take her tea wherever she pleases, and if she chooses to do so while sitting at the little girl's bedside, that's her own business, just as it was the business of certain scientists to be so busy saving others that they forgot to feed themselves.
It's this realization, along with the not so subtle disappearance of the frequent biscuits and light fare that often accompany her tea that have driven Lady Grantham to enlist the help of a few young persons in a more extensive effort.
It's early afternoon and Lady Grantham, trailed by Peeta and Cuthbert, enters the lab and proceeds to take over a large table with no regard for what already resides there, laying out a great deal of food and tea both made and replicated, with cups, plates, and utensils borrowed from the kitchen.
"Gentlemen! Ladies," Violet raises her voice, "As most of you do not see fit to leave this laboratory for anything short of near collapse, it has become apparent that sustenance and civilized company must be brought to you lest we lose you to your work. Please, do pull yourselves away and come join us."
