With the first round completed, the group went to have something to eat at the carnival's snack area. And as expected, most of the food that was offered featured chocolate as the main ingredient. These include crepes, mini donuts, and popcorn. There's also, of course, hot cocoa.

In a pleasant surprise, and while the others were looking for a good table, George had a little chat with Spencer...

"How have things been since you got married, my friend?" Spencer asked. "Oh, they've been bloody marvelous thus far. We even had some wonderful adventures these last few months!" George replied. "Well, am I glad to hear it!" Spencer remarked. George smiled. He then asked, "When was the first time this carnival took place?" Spencer replied, "Since the beginning of this decade, actually! You see, we have a 10-year contract with the current managers of Hampton Court Palace to sponsor their annual Christmas Carnival. Afterwards, we'll decide on whether we want to renew it or not." George said, "Hmm... That is veddy interesting, I should say!" "Yep!" Spencer nodded.

A while later, John called out, "We have found a table, Geo!"

George then remarked, "Well, that means it's time for me to get going. It was lovely talking with you again, Spencer!" He replied, "And I gotta return to work myself, so right back at ya, George! Say Hi to the others for me!" George replied, "I will! Merry Christmas!" Spencer replied, "Merry Christmas to you, too!"

Soon, George rejoined his family and bandmates. They then started eating.
