*A mini cab pulls up with a crunch of gravel and the driver, partly to his own surprise as this is not at all in his usual style, finds himself at his passenger's door and opening it with a flourish.

A pair of legs swivel out. The are very nice legs but followed by a rather severe looking dark haired woman with extraordinarily determined eyebrows.

She goes up the steps and rings the doorbell. Firmly*

Ah, good evening madam. You are the first of our guests to arrive. May I take you coat? And would you please follow me into the drawing room?

*a black Mercedes sedan pulls into the driveway*

*the driver looks in the rear view mirror, adjust his bow tie, and exits the vehicle, heading tentatively up the driveway*

Ding-dong...

Ah, good evening sir. I trust that your journey was satisfactory? If you would care to follow me to the drawing room?

*A dark gray limo pulls up and stops directly in front of the door. Maria steps out of the back seat, not waiting for the driver to open the door for her.*

Stay near, Fred. I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible.

*She approaches the door.*

Ding-dong

Good evening madam, always a pleasure to see you. Mr. Body will be down shortly, until then if you will please wait in the drawing room with the other guests?

Certainly, Jeeves. Good to see you.

*a silver Aston Martin pulls up in the drive*

*June checks her makeup and leaves the car*

Ding dong

Good evening miss. I believe that you are the last of our guests to arrive, if you would care to accompany me to the drawing room for a pre-dinner drink.

Thank you, Jeeves, I do with one.
