Mockwooders, assisting at the Heartholm tea-hour, and noting Berber among other casual guests, merely felt aggrieved and connoted "queerness." For almost a year, with the talking over of plans for John Strang's long-cherished idea of a forest garden at Heartholm, there had been no allusion between mistress and gardener to that far-off fantasy, the life of little Gargoyle.
"John," he said, "what were you going to do wi' that sorrowfu' lad?" "I was going to gie him up to justice, minister, as it was right and just to do; but first we must see about about the body." "That has, without doot, been already cared for. On the warst o' nights there are plenty o' folk passing o'er Glasgow Green after the tea-hour. It is David we must care for now.
You make me sick, Kurt, with your perpetual whine about 'standardization. Don't you suppose any other nation is 'standardized? Is anything more standardized than England, with every house that can afford it having the same muffins at the same tea-hour, and every retired general going to exactly the same evensong at the same gray stone church with a square tower, and every golfing prig in Harris tweeds saying 'Right you are! to every other prosperous ass?
So she wrote her acceptance Miss Grierson attended to the phrasing of her note but expressed her regret that she would be able to come only for the tea-hour. Drinking tea must be much the same, reasoned Maggie, whether it be drunk in a smart hotel or in a smart country home.
None of her ladies of honor were allowed to disturb the enjoyment of this pleasant tea-hour; only when the king wished it, the royal children were sent for to chat with their parents and to receive their supper at the hands of their beautiful mother. The queen went to meet her husband with a pleasant salutation, and offered him her hands. "Well," she asked, tenderly, "your brow is clouded still?
Heart-sick and desponding, the poor woman turns away, and renews her entreaties at the next neighbor's, perchance to be spurned again and again; for the cosy tea-hour has arrived, and husband and children are all gathered around the well-spread board, and it is annoying to be disturbed by beggars, now.
I heard screaming in the rose-garden that runs along the stable walls it was one afternoon not far from the tea-hour and on hurrying up I found a little girl of nine or ten fastened with ropes to a rustic seat, and two other children boys, one about twelve and one much younger gathering sticks beneath the climbing rose trees.
The Bu'ster came down on it like lightning with the blot-sheet, and squashed it into an irregular mass bigger than half-a-crown. For this he received another open-hander on the ear, and was summarily dismissed to the sea-beach. By this time the family tea-hour had arrived, so Mrs Gaff proposed an adjournment until after tea.
For the tea-hour I constantly strove to provide some appetizing novelty, often, I confess, sacrificing nutrition to mere sightliness in view of my almost exclusive feminine patronage, yet never carrying this to an undignified extreme. As a result of my sound judgment, dinner-giving in Red Gap began that winter to be done almost entirely in my place.
She could go home any time afterwards; for their own tea-hour was not till half past six. "I'll walk along with you a little way, Lina, and think it over." It was true Mrs. Parlin did not approve of Mandoline or any of her family; but Dotty thought she would forget that, just for once. "O, dear!
