Dinner For Five is a short story appearing in The Lost Stories about a date between Jenny and Gilan, and three thieves who disrupted their plans.

Summary[]

After checking the interior of her restaurant, Jenny left it under the care of her staff: Rafe, Ailsa, Norman, and several unnamed employees.

On the other side of town, the Silversmith Ambrose returned home and was about to open his strongbox when a knock on the door interrupted him. When he opened the door three robbers--Nuttal, Mound, and Tomas--attacked and restrained him. After finding the strongbox key in Ambrose's pockets, they escaped to Jenny's house, as Tomas had noticed she didn't return home until after the restaurant closed.

However, this night she was home early, and was cooking dinner when the robbers broke in. After a brief argument, they decided to stay anyways.

Meanwhile, Gilan arrived at Redmont and began to make his way to Jenny's house.

Soon after, the robbers discovered Jenny’s plans with Gilan when they find the letter he sent her. They agreed to try and ambush him once he entered the door.

Jenny told the thieves that she needed to take the meat out of the oven. Pretending to drop the wooden tongs, she tricked Mound into grabbing the hot pan. Seizing the opportunity, Jenny knocked him unconscious with a rolling pin and fought Tomas off with the leg of lamb. Nuttal tried to escape but ran into Gilan, who quickly finished him off and comforted Jenny.
