Here, there was a pleasant, modest-looking tea-shop with the name of Walcker over the front, and embedded in the plate glass were the words "Tea Rooms." These of course dated from long before the war, when the best Chinese tea was only four francs the demi-kilo and the fashion for afternoon tea had become established in Brussels.
"Twenty-eight," I answered, half-submerged in the delight of the contact with her, of knowing her in my arms, hardly willing or able to listen to what she said. "And how many women have you loved?" "Oh, I don't know," I answered. "I have been with lots, of course, but I don't think I have ever loved at all till now." "What about the little girl in the tea-shop at Sitka?"

He went to a tea-shop in Fleet Street where he knew he could hope to meet Hinde, and found him sitting in a corner with a friend who, soon after John's arrival, went away. "You needn't go to the concert if you're not desperately keen on it," Hinde said when John had told him of his job. "You can write your notice now!..." "Write it now! ... But I haven't been to the concert!"
"Oh, yes! it's all very well, you old humbug, to shake your head at me; but you wouldn't like being forced into an infernal tea-shop, and having all your pocket-money stopped, if it was your case. I won't stand it I have the patience of Job but I won't stand it! My mind's made up: I want to be an artist, and I will be an artist.
So our party adjourned to a little tea-shop in Regent Street, and afterwards, to make a few purchases at that fascinating shop, Liberty's. "Well, I really don't care much how long the boat is in coming," exclaimed Betty delightedly. "It's such fun to watch all the other boats going up and down the river, and to look up at busy Westminster Bridge!"
The agent de police went away to fetch a doctor and to disperse the crowd of ketjes and loafers which had transferred itself from the hotel to the tea-shop. The shop woman, who was one of those angels of kindness that turn up unexpectedly in the paths of unhappy people, called in a stout serving wench from the kitchen, and the three of them carried Mrs.
If to be killed for the sheep were indeed no worse than being killed for the lamb, and if a cup of tea went with the sheep and nothing at all with the lamb ? So she agreed. "There's a nice little tea-shop right round the corner. We girls often go there." "Tea? Like tea? All right, then" and he started manfully on.
It was really good. Where do you get it?" "There is a tea-shop a door or two from the Grand Hotel." "I must remember that. Thank you again. Good-bye." Not a word about the lessons or the American child! "You said something about my card in the Doctors' Club " Something wistful in the girl's eyes caught and held Mrs. Boyer. After all she was the mother of daughters.
It was still broad daylight for the lamps in the tea-shop had been rendered necessary only by the faulty construction of the premises and the dullness of the afternoon and in an open space I could see far enough for complete safety.
