The pungent smell of homemade tomato sauce awakened the senses as Lynette and the others returned to the lodge. The tables were set for lunch. A buffet – consisting of tortellini in a creamy tomato sauce – awaited their taste pleasure. This is what the lottery ads always described as “living large.” After all the guests had eaten, Claudia asked, with a touch of melodrama, "So, you want to know more about the evil MacDonald brothers, don't you?" » Damien, following the signal, resumed the morning's history lesson. “Bryan MacDonald was the worst of the group.
