Tea Quote

What part of confidante has that poor teapot played ever since that kindly plant was introduced among us.
Why myriads of women have cried over it for sure!

Nature meant very kindly
when she made the tea plant;

and with a little thought, what a series of pictures and groups the fancy may conjure up and assemble
’round the teapot and cup.

- William Makepeace Thackeray
