After a while, I began to notice a subtle difference in the atmosphere of the room, an undercurrent of anticipation that hummed like a high-voltage wire.
I sat up straighter.
A slew of decorous waiters floated from the darkness like moths, flitting amongst the guests and politely ushering them to plush chesterfields and comfortable old wingbacks.
Through a shifting haze of cigar and cigarette smoke, I saw the waiter who had collected my empty glasses emerge from behind a curtain on the opposite side of the room, pushing a trolley loaded with a box of film canisters and an ancient Bell and Howe screen projector.
