Presently one of the women poured out a third cup of tea and pushed it towards the child, slopping in the thin, bluish-looking milk with a generous hand. "'Ave a cup, child. It's as good a drop o' tea as ever I tasted." For a moment Sara stared at her speechlessly; then, with a sudden passionate gesture, she swept the cup on to the floor.
