The story

Not even the meal. After it. The coffee's been drunk, the plates abandoned. Only Jean stays near the table, too busy to notice everyone's wandered off. That's the whole event. Except Monet painted it on a canvas bigger than a queen mattress. That size was for coronations, battles. History. He used it for warm wine and an empty chair. A luncheon with nobody at the table. History-sized, with no history in it at all.
