When you' ve had enough． you might offer to clean the table or wash the dishes．But since you're he guest， your hosts may not let you． Instead， they may invite everyone to move to the living room for dessert with tea or coffee． There the hosts and the guests may continue to have a talk．After about an hour's talk， it's time for you to leave．
