The firm had taken the leading ideas of the chief tea-shop companies catering for the million in hundreds of establishments arranged according to pattern, and elaborated them with what is called in its advertisements 'cachet. Its prices were not as cheap as those of the popular houses, but they could not be called dear.
Her husband was my father's brother." "I understand; but how is it she never asks you to Aylmer's Court nor takes any notice of you?" "I am afraid I cannot tell you." "Cannot? Does that mean that you will not?" "I will not, then." Trevor flushed slightly. They had now nearly reached Westminster. "Here is a tea-shop," he said; "will you come in and have tea with me?" Florence hesitated.
The bald skull, resembling Voltaire's, was as parched as a death's-head, and but for a few hairs at the back it would have seemed doubtful whether it was that of a living man. Under a rigid brow, a pair of Chinese eyes, like those of an image under a glass shade in a tea-shop artificial eyes, which sham life but never vary moved but expressed nothing.
The inroads made upon our time by the morning's adventures made it necessary that we should go each about his respective business without delay; so, after a perfunctory lunch at a tea-shop, we separated, and I did not see my colleague again until the day's work was finished, and I turned into our chambers just before dinner-time.
Near him lay an opium pipe close by, on a tiny stand, the materials for more consumption of the drug.

At six o'clock exactly I was in the little mud-yard again, before the tea-shop; having sent Morley off to his dinner on board. I felt elated: all my pulses were beating merrily. I was keenly alive. Morley was right in what he said. An artist is Nature's pet, and she has mixed all his blood with joy. Natural, instinctive joy, swamped occasionally by melancholy, but always there surging up anew.
When they came out of the tea-shop on to the pavement they found themselves entangled in a group of sailors, liberty-men who had been disembarked from the cruiser that now lay anchored in the mouth of the Dart. They came along the footpath laughing, pleased to be ashore.
If you are a chess-player, you know that the man who can foretell what move his opponent is going to make usually wins. Here, let's find a quiet Piccadilly tea-shop and I'll tell you all about it." There is no place which one may find more convenient for a quiet conversation than the London tea-shop before twelve in the morning.
But the matter is of vital importance and we can't be too careful. Yours is the only evidence that could convict these people. They know that and will stick at nothing to get rid of you for by this time they will almost certainly have ascertained that the tea-shop plan has failed.
