Crowded House

The later the hour grows, the more people arrive at the Empire to watch the action. The stands around the final table are now completely full and spectators are lined up and down both staircases that flank the downstairs bar. A few more pint glasses are also turning up in the hands of audience members. As a result the background volume has gone up considerably but thus far the players appear to be unaffected by the ambient noise.
