The serving girl returns a minute later with a wicker basket tucked under her arm. Inside said basket is a bowl and two glasses, all wrapped in linen napkins to keep them from rattling against one another. "Would you like me to carry these anywhere in particular?" she asks uncertainly.
"Oh, there's no need at all for you to trouble yourself," Sadie reassures her, reaching for the basket. "If you would just give me the basket, we'll be on our way. It'll be as if we were never here!"
The girl doesn't seem entirely convinced, but she also doesn't seem overeager to deal with these two strangers any more than she must. "If you're sure," she says, passing the basket to Sadie.
"Positive. Thank you, dear," Sadie says as she tucks the basket under her arm. The girl bobs a quick curtsy, then hurries off.
