It was a lively dinner. Nothing made Gore-Browne happier than compliments to the house, and he could be the perfect host, telling stories and charming the ladies, though guests were always rather taken aback at his insistence on the waiters serving clockwise round the table, rather than ladies first. (Angela [his youngest daughter] recalls one dinner where the Archbishop of Central Africa was present and told the waiter to serve the ladies before him. Her father called the waiter over and told him not to serve the offending prelate, and the archbishop sat through dinner with an empty plate.)
