Suppers at the Headmaster's House: Avril's animated attachment; "eats like a wild dog"

texture · YDAU

• When: YDAU (a standing twice-weekly pattern in the autumn present)
• What: Hal and Mario "sometimes bring Canada's John ('No Relation') Wayne over with them" to late suppers at the Headmaster's House, "whom Mrs. I. likes and speaks to animatedly even though he rarely says anything the whole time he's there and also eats like a wild dog, sometimes neglecting utensils altogether." This is the first, innocuous-seeming surfacing of the Avril–Wayne closeness that events 13-14 and 19 reframe; it also fixes his in-text tag "No Relation" (i.e., no relation to the actor).
