Just a quick response to camperliberty, or rather, Nicole. Let me just say I made a mistake. The family had reserved a table d'hote by email, and I didn't write that down. I don't think it's very polite to write "not invited." And at a table with 14 people, it's not perfectly quiet; people are talking and laughing. Incidentally, this was at 10 p.m. Would it have been noisy even if they had been sitting at the table?
