People were crowding into the gallery,
talking and laughing,
greeting Dorothy and Sid and other old friends.

A group of art students wearing blue jeans and silk shirts of many different colors
entered the room with a white tablecloth
that they placed on a large table in the center of the gallery.
They brought in bottles of wine, wine glasses.
An enormous wastebasket full of ice and beer.
Sparkling water.

There were platters of cheeses of all kinds.
Freshly baked French bread.
Vegetables and dips.
Chips and salsa.
