"My mother turned her back against wealth and chose a simple and humble life with my father . We get by with just a roof over our heads, clothes on our bodies and three meals a day . My family wasn't rich and was fairly normal, so from an early age I knew the value of hard-earned money . They raised me to work hard and cherish what I have . Back then we can't afford a lot of things . If I wanted something, I worked and saved for it . And I guess old habits die hard . Even now that we're affluent, I still am like that" reminisced Neil happily as he finished his last serving .
"What age were you again when they brought you back here?" asked Ellie as if trying to recall something .
"I think I was 9 years old then" answered Neil .
AdvertisementKing looked over to Violet while he fed her and said, "That's the origin story of the Cheapskate"
"It's normal to be frugal" retorted Neil .
"Spendthrift" chimmed Ellie .
"You're the abnormal one" commented Violet .
"You're supposed to be on my side" complained King as he pouted in front of Violet . King nodded towards Tim .
"Besides, King is the only exception . He alone can rival the whole family's combined wealth by himself" remarked Neil .

While they conversed with one another, their table was once again cleaned up . Some waiters approaching from a distance carrying white square plates .
Tim waited for the right moment to serve the next course . When he finally found it, he signaled towards the waiters . They then placed it on the table and quietly left . Tim waited for King's confirmation . When he finally got it he began to talk .
"Esteemed Guests . Here's our fifth course of the night, Salad . It consisted of fine ingredients such as Florette Baby Leaf salad sautéed in Moulin Jean Marie Cornille olive oil from Provence . These ingredients are encased in a hand woven container made with interwoven strips of Courgettes, Red Peppers, Potatoes, to which are added a Tagliatelle of Cucumber, and Cauliflower Puree" Tim introduced the salad with much gusto .
"The salad basket are encircled by Almas Golden Caviar, made from the eggs of Albino and Oscietre sturgeons, formerly reserved for the Russian Tsars . And also kreel caught Langoustines, Cornish Crab and Lobster . The salad was then dusted with grated Truffle, Gold Leaf and drizzled with a Red Romano Pepper Essence and 30-year-old Balsamic Vinegar", Tim finished his explanation and left immediately to let the guests enjoy the meal .
Violet gazed at the salad and thought to herself, 'Despite the lengthy explanation and ingredients, it's my first time seeing a fist-sized salad . Aren't salads supposed to be huge portions?'
"Does everything have Caviars? First the Egg Custard, then the Tartares and now the Salad" said Neil as he stuffed his mouth .
"Are you complaining?" asked King calmly as he opened his mouth and waited patiently in front of Violet .
"No! Never! Caviars are the best . If it is your treat I could eat this everyday" Neil repeatedly swiveled his head in denial .
