An Ad Libitum Breakfast

The Devil's Game, p. 62.

I have heard "ad lib" which, I learn, abbreviates "ad libitum."

The ad libitum breakfast:

toast with ham, eggs or fried fish;
ice-packed juices;
fruits;
cheeses;
sausages;
sweets;
pastries.

That is for Haverner's guests whereas his breakfast is Continental, in bed.

(Continental breakfasts are one bad feature of visiting Europe from Britain.)

    Kaor, Paul!

    Being old and frail, I can see why Haverner would prefer to breakfast in bed, if he could.

    And having become so weight conscious, I'm inclined to prefer fairly light meals.

    Ad astra! Sean
