They found the table covered with old bowls, old tea-pots, old sugar dishes, and old pitchers, the fractures of which the Yankee was cementing together, whilst Mrs Warner held the candle, and her husband viewed the operation with great curiosity.
"Eleven butter-knives! and all marked Marcia Ann Hillman, from A.B., from C.D., and so on!" Laura laughed, and said she hoped my friends would all be as considerate as Aunt Allen, or else consult her. Suppose eleven tea-pots, for instance, or eleven silver salvers, all in a row! Ridiculous!

Tea-pots of polished metal are therefore to be preferred. TEATS. Sore teats, in Neat Cattle, is an affection in those of the cow kind, to which some are much more subject than others; especially such as have newly or lately calved.
All the others are serving at the front. From my seat I could see two ferocious looking, medal bespangled warriors ordering, the one a linden flower and verbena, the other camomile with mint leaf.

"No; come and sit down like a good child, you can't half listen when your mind is filled with stoves and tea-pots." Kate smiled, and drawing her chair up beside Grace, she listened to the reading, while her face alternately brightened or darkened.
