I could see where the Viking was to come in. But I could not so clearly see how I was to get out. We walked a very long way before any one seemed to wonder where we were going, and why we should be going there; but at last we came to a tea-garden, or a beer-garden, or both; and the L.C.P. said that we must stop and give Tibe a bowl of milk.
"Your Highness forgets that the salary they pay a tea-garden engineer is not enough to tempt a girl to marry him nor support them if she did." "That is true," replied the Rajah thoughtfully. He was silent for a little, and then he said: "I will give you an appointment here in the Palace with a salary of a lakh of rupees a year." Chunerbutty's eyes glistened.
Left with a small income inherited from her mother, Noreen Daleham, who was two years her brother's junior, had gladly given up the dulness of a home with an aunt in a small country town to accompany her brother and keep house for him. To most girls life on an Indian tea-garden would not seem alluring; for they would find themselves far from social gaieties and the society of their kind.
Such a transaction was certainly fraudulent, as it is dishonest to play when one is certain of winning. As I was going home I passed a tea-garden, and seeing a good many people going in and coming out I went in curious to know how these places were managed in Holland. Great heavens! I found myself the witness of an orgy, the scene a sort of cellar, a perfect cesspool of vice and debauchery.
The taste of these people will hardly be approved by the connoisseur, but they have A taste for art. Can the same be said of our lower classes, who, if they are inclined to be sociable and amused in their holidays, have no place of resort but the tap-room or tea-garden, and no food for conversation except such as can be built upon the politics or the police reports of the last Sunday paper?
"Good morning, Miss Daleham. Just back from your ride with Fred, I suppose?" The newcomer was the engineer of the estate. The staff of the tea-garden of Malpura consisted of three persons, the manager, a hard-drinking old Welshman called Parry; the assistant manager, Daleham; and this man. As a rule the employees of these estates are Europeans. Chunerbutty was an exception.
When it was actually in their hands they found that they knew nothing of farming and besides, were making money at trades they did not really care to abandon. They engaged a man to work the farm for them: and then another. They were told that the land they had chosen was for farming purposes worthless. Their capital ran short; and they tried to make money by keeping a tea-garden.
"And what are you doing?" "I? Oh! Cleaning up." Wall Street is not a Japanese tea-garden. It lacks the klop-klop of fountains. Yet, even in its metallic roar there may for exceptional beings be peace there. Not for Cassy, though. She could have screamed. A moment only. Lennox turned and both moved on. "Let's get out of this." Cassy looked up at him. "You forget my little errand." "Ah, yes!
Having purchased the Waterman's Arms at Bermondsey, with some adjoining waste land, he transformed the place into a tea-garden. Shortly afterwards a chalybeate spring was discovered in the grounds, an event which obliterated the name of the Waterman's Arms in favour of the Bermondsey Spa Gardens.
At a hotel in Cornwall a tea-garden was, and probably is still, ornamented with seats constructed of the carved oak from a neighbouring church no doubt the restorer's perquisite. "Poor places which cannot afford to pay a clerk of the works suffer much in these ecclesiastical convulsions.
