Holden put one egg on each plate and then cut the freshly toasted bread into triangles. With two triangles of bread on each of their plates, they were ready to be served. So he set them down on the table, got out the feared forks and sat down, encouraging Gideon to sit next to him.

"There's a couple ways to do it. Eggs are really soft, so you can just cut them with the side of the fork, see?" He did as he explained, putting some egg onto one corner of a triangle. Then he took a bite. "You can also dip the bread in the yolk!" He demonstrated that as well. "See how you like it, yeah?"
