Around The Tea-Table

CHAPTER I
6/12

He likes his tea sweet; and after his cup is passed to him, he frequently hands it back, and says, "This is really delightful, but a little more sugar, if you please." He has a mellowing effect upon the whole company.

After hearing him talk a little while, I find tears standing in my eyes without any sufficient reason.

It is almost as good as a sermon to see him wipe his mouth with a napkin.

I would not want him all alone to tea, because it would be making a meal of sweetmeats.
But when he is present with others of different temperament, he is entertaining.

He always reminds me of the dessert called floating island, beaten egg on custard.
