"Cokey must have gone for a walk. Foxy'll have to find him." Prout, as the nearest house-master, was trying to restore order, for rude boys were flicking butter-pats across chaos, and McTurk had turned on the fags' tea-urn, so that many were parboiled and wept with an unfeigned dolor.
There was nothing remarkable about the pen, excepting that it had been dipped too deeply in the ink, but it was proud of that. "'If the tea-urn won't sing, said the pen, 'she can leave it alone; there is a nightingale in a cage who can sing; she has not been taught much, certainly, but we need not say anything this evening about that.
The fire, of course, was warm, and it seemed to leap and splutter with a distinctly Christmas morning air; the curtains and carpets and arm-chairs were warm and cosy in aspect; the tea-urn was warm, indeed it was hot, and so were the muffins, while the atmosphere itself was unusually warm. The tiny thermometer on the chimney-piece told that it was 65 degrees of Fahrenheit.
With her hand on the tea-urn, releasing a stream of boiling water into the pot, Lady John glanced over the small thickset angel that poised himself on one podgy foot upon the lid of the urn. 'Sophia's too free with her tongue. It's a mistake. It frightens people off. 'Men, you mean? 'Especially men.

Hooper looked at his wife with some embarrassment. "I want you to have anything you wish for in reason my dear Connie; but your aunt is rather exercised about the proprieties." The small dried-up woman behind the tea-urn said sharply: "A girl can't ride alone in Oxford she'd be talked about at once!" Lady Connie flushed mutinously. "I could take a groom, Aunt Ellen!"
Then silently, and with that restrained eagerness that characterised all her actions she busied herself with the tea-urn. His critical and discriminating gaze followed her movements.
The majority of the peasants are too poor to afford such a luxury as tea, except on rare occasions, but a tea-urn is one of the first objects that a peasant who has saved a little money buys; and it is true, that in some prosperous villages there is a samovar in every hut; and in all the post-houses and inns each visitor is supplied with a separate one.
"I was still happy while I dressed, but as I came downstairs I got nervous, and when I went into the dining-room I knew it was no good. There was Evie I can't explain managing the tea-urn, and Mr. Wilcox reading the Times." "Was Paul there?" "Yes; and Charles was talking to him about stocks and shares, and he looked frightened." By slight indications the sisters could convey much to each other.
