The remaining chapters of the "Chaking" treat of the vulgarity of the ordinary methods of tea-drinking, a historical summary of illustrious tea-drinkers, the famous tea plantations of China, the possible variations of the tea-service and illustrations of the tea-utensils. The last is unfortunately lost. The appearance of the "Chaking" must have created considerable sensation at the time.
"Does it always smoke?" whispered Little Bill to his brother. The "it" referred to was Baby La Certe, which had, as usual, possessed itself of its father's pipe when the mother was not watching.

"Why, then, the truth is, you have a what tea-drinking people call a sort of a comfortable appearance together, you and your wife.
