The butler crossed the room slowly.
"It's all right," Forbes said. "The president will notice nothing
whatever, Kessit. Would you mind pouring us all another glass of wine?

There was a murmur of agreeing voices. The butler lifted the silver
decanter and filled glasses, moving easily and surely in the darkness.
"Cheers," said Forbes.
"Cheers," said the others, over the clink of glasses.
