Reagan clenched her teeth together so she wouldn't respond with an impolite comment that would surely ruin all relations between the United States and Britain forevermore. Forcing a smile upon her face, Reagan replied, "I do apologize, Ms. Road. I hate to rush you upon the stage, but I know you must have such a busy schedule, a woman of your importance surely doesn't have much time to waste. I thought it best that we get the opening ceremonies started so that we can all get to work here together. The chair on the end closest to the podium has been reserved for you and there is a table of food for you all to enjoy. Please indulge yourself with some food and have a seat."

Frowning at the woman standing on stage, Jespersen bit her tongue in order from preventing herself from saying one thing or two to this woman about being polite, and a good hostess.

"There's not need to be so loud, dear," muttered Svetlana to the so called Reagan woman, sounding polite--yet critical. Nodding one polite nod to her, and offering her a smile that did not reach her large turquoise eyes, the Norwegian Minister of Magic, made her way towards her seat.
Oh! This one was even worse! Telling me how to do my own job! She was the Minister for Norway, not Britain, so she better back up! And maybe if these Ministers could follow a simple request, I wouldn't have needed to be louder to get their attention.

Reagan put the most sympathetic look upon her face and explained, "I apologize for the volume. It is just that when I made my first announcement, I think my voice was lost in the crowd because no one responded. So I raised it a bit, but perhaps I spoke the second time just as a hush came over the room, so it seemed louder." Because I can honestly say, it was not that loud. But, of course, I won't be honest with you, because you'd bite my head off. Because you're worse than a combination of Clara and Brennan together!

Of course, Reagan didn't say her thoughts out loud, but she'd heard about this woman's reputation and Reagan wasn't so sure she would like her much. But maybe the woman would prove her wrong. Until then, Reagan finished with, "The third chair from the end of the table closest to the podium has been reserved for you and there is a table of food for you all to enjoy. Please indulge yourself with some food and have a seat."

Reagan's face broke into a true smile. Finally! Someone nice and polite who didn't speak to her with condescension! Reagan replied cheerily, "Oh, no need to apologize. It is rather loud in here amongst the crowd. We have a great turnout. I think they're all rather anxious to see you all up close, and to see the entertainment we've planned. We'll be getting started in just a moment. The very first chair, on the end farthest from the podium, has been reserved for you and there is a table of food for you all to enjoy. Please indulge yourself with some food and have a seat."

She was grabbed by someone and pulled to the stage. She pulled her hand back. "Thank you. We do know how to walk in Bulgaria." She said curtly. She stood behind the rest of the minsters to wait her turn to make a speech.

As the other Ministers made their way to the stage, Reagan pointed them to their chairs, which went in roughly alphabetical order, with the exception of Brennan who was placed nearer the center of the table in the 6th chair from the end farthest the podium. She explained, "We'll be getting started with the entertainment in just a moment. Minister Cooper will open the ceremonies first and then the acts will come on. There is a table of food for you all to enjoy. Please indulge yourself with some food and have a seat." Wow, that line was getting extremely repetitive.
