"I wish you not to call me 'little girl!" Rufus smiled at her admiringly. "It's hard for me to be formal with Dick Melody's girl," he said. "What shall I call you? My lady? That's all right, that's what you are. My lady. Another cup o' coffee please, my lady. It tastes extra good from your fair hands. We'll do away with this rocky tea-set, too.
"Yes, Agraphena Petrovna told me. I went there. Thanks, very much. But " At this moment the hotel waiter brought in a silver tea-set. While he set the table they were silent. Then Nathalie sat down at the table and made the tea, still in silence. Nekhludoff also said nothing. At last Nathalie began resolutely. "Well, Dmitri, I know all about it." And she looked at him.
The present experience seemed to have fallen away from her. She might have been addressing the boy who also had been wild in those years so long ago. "You keep on this way an' you'll end in jail an' I dunno but suthin' that's wuss. Mebbe nobody won't ketch ye this time, you better melt the tea-set up soon as ever you can, but some time they will. Now you mind what I tell ye."
O, Florence, do eat your supper up here with me instead of going downstairs." "Of course," said Florence, "unless you would rather go down, for uncle said he would carry you." "I know," said Dimple, "but it is more fun to have it up here with my tea-set, and Bubbles to wait on us."
She will; and if she is as pleasant as she has been so far, I will give her a silver tea-set, and go and take tea with her and her husband, sometimes. No coffee, I hope, though, it depresses me sadly. I feel very miserably; they must have been grinding it at home. Another morning walk will be good for me, and I don't doubt the schoolmistress will be glad of a little fresh air before school.

The suggestion will probably have to come from the teacher, but the children will probably have the desire when it is suggested, and I hope we shall be able to go on enlarging our town on the pattern of the towns the children know. If they want bricks for their houses they can dig clay in the garden. "Report. The children wanted to make a tea-set, so we carried our clay outside.
It was like asking her whether she would have a Gorham tea-set, a Balcom gown, or a Packard landaulet. She wanted them all. But her eyes caught the prices. Four dollars for an English pheasant! No wonder they called it golden. It seemed a shame, though, to stick such a nice man, after he had already ordered two dollars and a half's worth of caviar. She chose the cheapest thing.
Gladys poured out the tea in purple cups bordered with gold. Mr. Hamilton held out a beautiful china plate for my inspection. 'This belonged to Gladys's mother, he said: 'we are only allowed to use it on high days and holidays. Etta was unfortunate enough to break a saucer once: we have never seen the tea-set since.
"I am so anxious to see if you like all the house." At last I got her upstairs. I threw open the nursery door. It was too sudden, no doubt. At the sight of the kettle, the rocking-horse, the tea-set, she burst into tears. "Dear, dear Nannie," I said, "it is your own nursery; it's all from Hames." She paused in her sobs.
