In response to a gesture, the porters advanced in line, like the Three Graces; and counting rapidly, I made out that their load consisted of one good-sized "Innovation" cabin box, two enormous alligator-skin dressing bags, one small bag, and two capacious hold-alls, umbrellas, parasols, and a tea-basket. I began to tremble for more than Terry's five pounds. I now saw all the Prince's guile.
'Well then I'll get them to put you up a tea-basket, and you can picnic all to yourselves, that's the idea, isn't it? 'How fearfully good! How frightfully nice if you could! cried Gudrun warmly, her colour flushing up again. It made the blood stir in his veins, the subtle way she turned to him and infused her gratitude into his body. 'Where's Birkin? he said, his eyes twinkling.
Any one could have told they were on their honeymoon, for they wore perfectly new clothes, and on their knees between them they balanced a perfectly new tea-basket. They were making tea and sandwiches, and although it was all rather messy, it gave them the illusion of house-keeping.
"But I think we should plan to do something very interesting every holiday all winter." "We will take a tea-basket and lunch out of doors," replied Edith happily. "There are beautiful spots to visit in Jersey." Win looked up suddenly. "Fran," he asked, "did you notice those gentlemen who rode out of the square while we were looking at the statue? Had you ever seen the younger one before?"
I told the nurses they must leave their luggage for the present and be ready in five minutes, and in less than that time we left the hotel, looking more like a set of rag-and-bone men than respectable British nursing sisters. One had seized a large portmanteau, another a bundle of clean aprons, another soap and toilet articles; yet another provident soul had a tea-basket.
She packed her tea-basket again as soon as she was alone, selecting her provisions with care. And soon after three, accompanied by Romeo, she started for the glen, not sauntering idly, but stepping briskly through the golden sunshine, as one with a purpose. She felt as if she were going to a trysting-place, though no word of a tryst had passed between them.
But a cup of tea in the afternoon was necessary to her well-being, and her animation. She became rather drowsy and absent by four o'clock. Bruce again suggested their landing and leaving the Belle of the River, as they had not thought of bringing a tea-basket. After tea, which was a great success, they became very cheery and jolly. They went for a walk and then back to their boat.
Van Torp seemed very much pleased, and he looked down at the shabby little brown basket hanging at her saddle. He slipped to the ground, and she did the same before he could go round to help her. The old thoroughbred nosed her hand as if expecting something good, and she produced a lump of sugar from the tea-basket and gave it to him. Mr.
I just want to be young and happy, and have a good time!" At the half-way station the tea-basket made its appearance, and the girls sat side by side taking turns at the cup, and nibbling at bread- and-butter and plum-cake like two happy children out for a holiday, which in good truth they were.
At about two in the morning of the 19th after a slow and icy journey she arrived at the inn, knocked up the aged servants, made herself a cup of chocolate out of her tea-basket and sat down to wait on my coming. She has described to me that time of waiting. A home-made candle in a tall earthenware candlestick lit up the little salle-a-manger, which was the one room in use.
