The ballroom was full of people that were having a good time. They were all laughing and dancing, and making conversation with one another while standing near the many tables full of food and wine.
Boy was running around, letting guests into the house and serving others with refreshments.
Hartford still searched aimlessly for Mercedes, and he constantly asked

Miel and Cassta were already quite drunk but they didn't like to admit to such a thing. Only if they ever reached the point of utter unconsciousness did they admit to being 'somewhat intoxicated.' Now, however, they were fine. They were in a happy state and so they made jokes to each other.

"This is quite a party, Cassta!"
Cassta laughed while trying to swallow his drink, so letting some spill onto his shirt front.
"Yes. It's almost as interesting as those parties that I host!" he said in return.
