Louisa opened the keg, taking a deep breath of the strong smelling tea and she took a tablespoon from the tea set, spooning a few tablespoons into her tea pot, before taking the kettle of boiled water and filling it up, leaving it to stew. "Tea should be ready in a few minutes."

"Oh, have as much as you like. It's always good to know your cooking is appreciated. We had quite a crop of plums last year and I have always enjoyed a good jam."

	"Thank you, Miss Louisa." He says, moving to settle down in a chair at the table stacked with baked cakes and scones. "I will certainly help myself to this delightful spread. But I do hope you did not go to all his trouble just on my account, my dear Miss Louisa. I am nothing but a plain and simple man." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Louisa smiled softly. In truth she had been baking solidly for the past three days, but the household had eaten well and enjoyed the treats. She wished to make the very best impression and one could do that so more easily when one had forward planning.

"Oh, no trouble at all. I think scones and cakes are the least one should have with tea. There would be sandwiches but I didn't know what you'd be allowed to have as a filling so I thought better of it."

	"I assure you, Miss Louisa, I would be unable to eat sandwiches as well as scones and cakes. You have, I'm sure, out done yourself." He told her, taking a side plate and a scone from the table, carefully cutting it in half and spreading it with plum jam. "But I shan't be able to eat such a feast every night."

	Louisa set to pouring two cups of tea for them both. "Oh yes, I have made provisions for your needs, Mr. Makepeace." She said. "I hope though, you don't mind if the rest of the household eat differently. I don't want to cause upset or offence to any of my renters." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course, Miss Louisa. I don't wish to make myself a nuisance to your other guests." He says, taking the tea-cup from her and smiling thankfully. "Thank you. Please, tell me what you think. Your taste in tea is something I am rather jealous of." (Reply to this) (Parent)
