If for some reason the Crown wants to attend to other business they should
send a message to hall steward and the cook if they wish the populace to carry
on.  For that matter, the steward and the cook should send someone to ask the
Crown's wishes if the feasters have passed their settling in and chatting
stage and have been sitting and waiting. Foolish for either to just assume
that the feast will/won't proceed, no matter what the original plan was.

Now in the case of the two silly hats having an argument while the feasters
sat waiting... I'm flabbergasted.  Did no one step outside the play pretend of
their "royalness" and tell them to get their butts in gear because they were
ruining the event? Not even their Queens? Too bad.
