Exciting: in the sense of stimulation of brain and nervous system to higher tension, but not necessarily attended by disposition to labor or useful activity. Now some tea-drinkers find in the beverage exhilaration only, a lightness of mood, but they are disposed to rest and to revery, to simply a passive meditation, or an indulgence of the imagination.
The serious people, politicians, whist-players, and tea-drinkers, are in the parlor.

The beautifully-dressed tea-drinkers were there now, under the green glass dome, prattling and smiling, those people he had called his own.
