"And we can tell the girl to come 'over, instead of 'up, when she's to fetch us home from a tea-drinking That will be one of the 'handy' things." "Girl! we shall have a man, if we have a garden." This was between the two. "Mayhap," said Barbara. "And perlikely a wheel-barrow."
As the day drew near when tea-drinking was to become the great turning-point of our national liberty, the spirit of noble revolt led many dames to join in bands to abandon the use of the unjustly taxed herb, and societies were formed of members pledged to drink no tea. Five hundred women so banded together in Boston.
At that time, his feats of personal activity and address made him the theme of every tongue, the delight of every eye, the admiration of every woman, and the envy of every man: not only with the damsels of Peggy Sheridan's class was he the favourite, but with all the young ladies, the belles of the half gentry, who filled the ball-rooms; and who made the most distinguished figure in the riding, boating, walking, tea-drinking parties.
It wanted only three minutes of the half hour, and he went out at once. The scene on the terrace was very different from what it had been an hour ago.

And yet thousands of Hindus would rather die of thirst than drink water from a Mahomedan household. These nonsensical men can also, once they are convinced that their religion demands that they should wear garments manufactured in India only and eat food only grown in India, decline to wear any other clothing or eat any other food.
