As the evening wears on, the only ones feeling fatigue may be the attentive staff. The guests and the musicians are still full of vigour.
We come to the prize ceremony for the best costumes and the best dancers. Earlier, I overheard one lady speculating whether her Charles would be skilled enough to partner her at the event. Well he certainly came through. There is applause as they are awarded the prize for the waltz and then the overall performance prize. This is a popular couple, particularly Charles. I find him extremely affable and easy to please. That isn’t usual amongst these wealthy canines.
Some guests linger past midnight. New friends and acquaintances are made, and perhaps longer-term relationships that will endure past a holiday voyage.
