She nodded.  "True enough."  She agreed though if it was overly expensive would people do it?  She wasn't sure.  Hopefully, it wouldn't be so much that people would not be able to afford it.  "I will be bringing out lunch soon.  I'll make it up as a picnic for you out here."  She suggested but not allowing him to have the time to negate it.  She was going to have food near him and hope he would eat as he worked. 

She went back inside.  "It should be ready for luncheon."  She smiled at Eleanor.  "I will set it up as a picnic.  Is there a basket handy with a table cloth that would be bright and cheerful for a picnic?"  She asked knowing that how food was displayed and how it looked was as much an invitation to taste it as the smell and taste.
