"Dinner was lovely, Emily." Richard spoke as Harper took a drink of the white wine sat in front of her.
"Mira does make a perfect cassoulet." Emily nodded her head.
"Who's Mira?" Lorelai asked
"Our cook."
"I thought the cook was Heidi." Harper asked
"We let Heidi go month ago. She had a problem closing things- The door, the refrigerator.."
"The liquor bottle." Richard finished for her and Lorelai chuckled as Rory, Harper, and her all looked at each other and smiled.
"Then it was Trina, then Sophia." Emily recalled them.
"I liked Sophia." Richard pointed at Emily.
"You did not."
"I didn't?"
"She was the one who sang."
"That's right-- Terrible woman."
"And then after Sophia, we had Anton."
"That's right. Anton was the one I liked." Richard nodded his head.
"I'm sorry, Dad. How do you mix up Anton and Sophia?" Lorelai set her hand on the table.
"What do you mean?"
"One is a man, and one is a woman."
"And your point being?"
"That one is a man and one is a woman."
"I have a lot do in a day, Lorelai. I don't have to keep up with the multitudes of people your mother employs." Richard explained as Lorelai crossed her arms.
"But one is a man, and one is a woman." Lorelai continued as Rory and Harper sighed the maid came in dessert.
"The dinner was so wonderful, Mira." Harper smiled at her as she set dessert on the table.
"It's Sarah." The maid said.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Harper told her and she nodded her head walking away making her look over at Emily.
"Grandma, her name is Sarah." Harper told her as Emily looked down at the table.
"I thought she said Mira." Emily shook her head as Lorelai shook her head.
"Grandma, these plates are really pretty." Rory changed the subject.
"Thank you. they were your great-grandmother's." Emily smiled.
"Lorelai the first." Richard smiled bigger.
"I thought mom was the first." Harper set her arms on the table as Richard shook his head.
"Not in the name."
"No but in so many other things, I was a trailblazer. Just finishing your thought, Mom." Lorelai looked over at Emily who gave her a look.
"Lorelai the first was my mother. She was an extremely accomplished equestrian, a distinguished patron of the arts, and she was also world-famous for her masquerade balls. She was quite the woman, my mother." Richard explained to them.
"Yes, she was. Mira, cut the cake!" Emily rushed.
"Yes, and why don't you bring Sarah out here with you?" Lorelai said smiling at her mother as Emily stared at her as Harper started chuckling which turned into a laugh making Lorelai and Rory laugh with her till Emily told them to be quite.
Sarah came out and cut the cake as they continued to talk.
"So, Lorelai, how are things at that charming little inn of yours?" Emily asked.
