As thE cook came back into the Room, she spied the young lad put the last grape into his already bulging mouth. "You rascal", she shouted as she started giving chase. But the lad knew of a narrow chare to run down and which the cook found was too crowded, and so he escaped - for now. As the cook got back to the kitchen a bit out of breath she was muttering "I sware that lad will feel the back of my hand the next time I see him". "Did I hear you threatening violence cook", came a voice from the doorway. "Oh sorry vicar", the startled cook exclaimed, "I was not aware you were there". She felt chastised and an uneasy truce ensued between the cook and the lad.
