And I certainly never want to see her again! Why, in the name of goodness, did you accept that tea-fight?" "Because I mean to go." "Then you'll have to go without me," was the incautious reply. "Oh, so you're afraid of meeting her! I shall know what to think, if you don't go." Daphne sat erect, her hands clasped round her knees. Roger made a sound of wrath, and threw his cigarette into the fire.
Martin was on his way downstairs. He drew up abruptly. "Oh, hello!" he said. "Oh, hello!" said Joan. He was in evening clothes. His face had lost its tan and his eyes their clear country early-to-bed look. "You've had a tea-fight, I see. I peered into the drawing-room an hour ago and backed out, quick." "Why? They were all consumed with curiosity about you.
The building was opened with a tea-fight and a dance, and answered its purpose very well up to the time of the first heavy rains; then studies had to be postponed indefinitely, for the floor was a foot under water. A call was made upon the united strength of the township, and the building was lifted bodily and set down again on piles.
There'll be no time for whims and fancies, or even for lessons; for there is to be an enormous tea-fight, as I call it, for the young folk of the parish in the schoolhouse this afternoon, and games afterwards, and recitations; and if you, Rosamund, can recite as well as Lucy has described, why, you will be invaluable." "But I can't recite. Lucy is mistaken," said Rosamund.
Perhaps the most unexpected visitors to the hall were two ladies in mourning, who had just arrived from Egypt by way of Brindisi. Mrs and Miss Drew, having occasion to pass through Portsmouth on their way home, learned that there was to be a tea-fight at the Institute, and Marion immediately said, "I should like so much to see it!"
In a moment he called to us: "Toddle over here and see what the old girls are doing." "Who does he mean?" I asked Mops, as we moved stiffly, side by side. "It's the Unaquarium parson's garden," she said. "I expect they're having a tea-fight. They're always up to something fishy." Something ominous in the words should have warned me, but I was too elated to be heedful of signs or portents.
The Mate and I were on the poop watching her. You see, we'd signalled her, and she'd not taken any notice, and that seemed queer, as we couldn't have been more than three or four hundred yards off her port beam, and it was a fine evening; so that we could almost have had a tea-fight, if they'd seemed a pleasant crowd.
I s'y, you know, it must feel awf'ly peculiar to get bowled over on a d'y like this. I'd rather 'ave it on a cowld and frosty morning, wouldn't you? 'Ow are you off now, for the notion of a future styte? Do you cotton to the tea-fight views, or the old red 'ot boguey business? 'Oh, dry up! said the captain. 'No, but I want to know, said Huish.
As soon as I see that look in your eye I remembered 'bout the tea-fight over at Knox's Church last night and how they'd be sure to be selling off what's left, for the benefit of the heathen." The boy gave the roundest wink Callandar had ever seen and deposited his parcels upon the bed. "They always have 'bout forty times as much's they can use.
