"Don't you like yours made in a samovar and flavoured with lemon?" "Not a bit of it," rejoined Philippa. "Nice English tea with plenty of cream, please." "I can promise you that. Just sit down here. Now, Bill, give her a cushion and hand her the scones. They are freshly made and hot. Try some honey with them, real heather honey from Bessmoor. Don't ask her any questions.
