Mr. Dan was in high spirits today.
After warning that conceited junior, his lucky break had finally arrived.
Although he was quite displeased with the junior's reaction, the senior seemed very satisfied with his own performance and gave him the invitation briskly and readily.
After greeting the carriage driver, who was breathing on his hands in front of the horses to warm them, and confirming the approximate departure time, Dan walked past the luxurious carriages up to the main entrance of the manor, without casting a glance elsewhere, and handed the invitation to the door guard.
"Please come in, distinguished guest."
Once the invitation was confirmed to be in order, with the respectful greetings and watchful eyes of the guard upon him, Dan strode confidently into the club's meeting hall, feeling as if he had grown several inches taller.
