But it was a little late. Bridget was already rather cross; the tea-set was packed in a box, and up on a high shelf. "No, dear. There is not time, and we must not make Bridget any more trouble; but" seeing the tears coming again "you shall have some real tea in papa's big gilt cup, and another time you shall have your tea-set when we have breakfast out here again."
There was a very small tea-set with at least half of the cups missing, a wooden horse which only possessed three legs, and the remains of a regiment of battered tin soldiers. "How funny the box smells and the toys, too!" Ann said. "Sort of queer and yet sweet, like mother's glove case. I think she said it was sandal-wood.
Now I shall have time really to enjoy them, and to realize how sweet and lovely everybody has been to me. Wasn't it too dear of Miss Priscilla to give me that beautiful tea-set? And I was so touched by poor little Miss Willy spending her hard-earned money on that vase. I wish she hadn't. It makes me feel badly to think of it but I don't see what I could do about it, do you?
A felt-covered water-bottle hung in the draught of one of the shuttered windows; a tea-set of Russian china, packed in a wadded basket, stood on the seat; and a travelling spirit-lamp was clamped against the woodwork above it. William served them generously, in large cups, hot tea, which saves the veins of the neck from swelling inopportunely on a hot night.
"Oh, and don't I just seem to see that little red tea-table of hers near the fire," burst from Miss Marsh. "That Japanese table, with the Japanese tea-set oh dear, oh dear! those cups of tea those cakes! Well, the room was luxurious, was worth coming to see in Annabel's time." "It's more than it is now," laughed Miss Jones in a harsh voice. "How bare the walls look without her pictures.
But the shopman's hearing was very acute, and he darted forward, crying, "The china tea-set, did you say, miss?" The blood rushed up to poor Madam Liberality's face till it seemed to choke her, and the lady, whom the shopman had been serving, said kindly, "I think the little girl said the box of beasts." Madam Liberality hoped it was a dream, but having pinched herself, she found that it was not.
She had spent some of the rather large pay she drew upon coverings of French blue for the plush furniture, upon a dainty yellow porcelain tea-set, upon little oddments of decoration. The wall-paper and carpet were inoffensive, the quietest probably in Millings, so that her efforts had met with some success.
And Diana was going to stay all night, too. How like the dear old times it was! And the rose-bud tea-set graced the table! With Marilla the force of nature could no further go. "I suppose you and Diana will now proceed to talk all night," said Marilla sarcastically, as the girls went upstairs. Marilla was always sarcastic after any self-betrayal.
So the match was laid down to Bo's grief, and Yulee proceeded to unpack the box containing her tea-set. They chose for a table a flat rock sunken in the sand, and just the right size. On this they arranged the cups and saucers, and tea-pot and sugar-bowl and creamer. "We ought to have some real sugar," said Bo. "So we ought," said Yulee. "There ought to be some in the ship's stores," she added.
Furniture inlaid with ivory, mother-of-pearl, and coral, decked the apartment, and a small, rich table held an exquisite tea-set. Swan had just been drinking from it, and the room was full of the fragrance. He toyed with the tea-cup, and half dozed. Then, rousing himself, he put fresh tea from the canister into the cup, and poured boiling water over it from the mouth of the fantastic dragon.
