The Town Traveller

CHAPTER VI
7/15

And when I think of the Cheshire and the Cheddar we used to top up with! It's 'art-breaking." From a speaker with such a countenance all this was very impressive.
Mrs.Clover shook her head and wondered what England was coming to.

In return she would tell of the people who came to her shop to hire cups and saucers just to make a show when they had a friend to tea with them.
