SC - courts running long

I don't know--as a herald whose done court during dinner, and as one
whose tried to hurry court along so we could all go to dinner, my
preference is for the latter option.  I guess you can process up, then
down, then up, then down, then up, then down, but it looks bad, and
there's little worse than standing and watching everyone else eat a
wonderful meal...

Frankly, it's the autocrats job to either communicate to the kitchen
when dinner will be served early enough so that plans can be changed, or
to see that the day's activities move along so that court can happen and
dinner be served at the scheduled time.
