"Why was I not told?" she demanded, rising unwillingly to her feet. "Really," I assured her, "I didn't think of it." She followed us out. We all walked down Piccadilly. "Will you please," she said, "direct me to a tea-shop?" I pointed one out to her. She left us without a word of farewell. Eve and I turned down into the Haymarket. "Nice example your parents are setting us!" I remarked.
It was started early in March. It is full of bad blue china and inordinately expensive. Of the tea-shop at Poperinghe I cannot speak too highly. There is a vast variety of the most delicious cakes. The proprietress is pleasant and her maids are obliging. It is also cheap. I have only one fault to find with it the room is small.
Yes; she was thankful he would never have to know. What would he think of her if he could see her now in her full-skirted brown merino frock, her brown muslin apron, the big white chrysanthemum, which was the emblem of the tea-shop, embroidered in its corner and on its bib, her high muslin cap with the stiff strings tied beneath her chin?
"By the bye, Brooks," he said, "do you remember my meeting you in a little tea-shop almost the day after I first called upon you?" "Quite well," Brooks answered. "You had a young lady with you." "Yes. I was with Miss Scott." Lord Arranmore's hand fell from the handle. His eyes seemed suddenly full of fierce questioning. He moved a step forward into the room. "Miss Scott? Who is she?"
"Now, where would you like to go for tea?" he asked as they drove away. "I don't care in the least," she said, "only I'm nearly dead. Let it be somewhere close at hand." Archie promptly decided in favour of a tea-shop in St. Paul's Churchyard. "I suppose you have read the morning papers?" he said, as they sat down. "I thought your husband had something up his sleeve."
The street echoed and throbbed in the Englishman's ears with the exultant pulse of youth and mastery set to loud Pagan music. A group of lads from the tea-shop clustered on the pavement and watched the troops go by, staring at a phase of life in which they had no share.
"I shall be in my rooms in the Temple to-morrow morning, any time after eleven." "It is necessary for me to speak to you now," she insisted. "There is a tea-shop across the way. Please accompany me there." Ledsam, a little surprised at the coolness of her request, subjected his accoster to a closer scrutiny. As he did so, his irritation diminished. He shrugged his shoulders slightly.
I shall never forget my feelings when one morning in a certain wine-merchant's cellar I saw several eighteen-gallon casks of Bass's Pale Ale. I left Poperinghe in a motor-ambulance, and the Germans shelled it next day, but my latest advices state that the ale is still intact. Across the road from the wine-merchant's is a delectable tea-shop. There is a tea-shop at Bailleul, the "Allies Tea-Rooms."
Emerging from the theatre, borne on the outgoing stream, I presently found myself opposite the door of a tea-shop. Instinct the five o'clock instinct this time guided me in; for we are creatures of habit, especially of the tea habit.
Of course we don't know that he is not; but the fact that he has given Hamburg as his present whereabouts establishes a strong presumption that he is somewhere else. I only hope that he has not located you, and, from what you tell me of your later methods, I fancy that you would have shaken him off even if he had started to follow you from the tea-shop." "I hope so too.
