Tea in The Park, Between Two and Five O'Clock, Saturday
There was a moment where in the park, there was no tea.
There was another moment right after that one at which there was.
How the park went from one state to the other would remain a mystery.
But the picnic tables were out, and covered in old-fashioned tea sets. Little stacks of tiny sandwiches were placed delicately upon fine china, and there were baskets of scones everywhere. Next to the scones? Marmalade, in several flavours, well-made.
The tables also produced various other sweets and desserts that wouldn't run out until the tea would, just as mysteriously, vanish right around 5 o'clock into whatever tea-heaven it had came from. By the edge of the park, there were several wardrobes full of the latest 1815s fashions to be worn - which would be a good idea to try, considering the rather judgey glances the British regency ladies were tossing everyone's way.
It was very expensive tea, after all.
Afternoon tea was ready, Fandom. Make use of it while it was still there.
Enjoy it. And don't ask too many questions.
