MCA #7, Sunday Afternoon

[funnyways]

Mina had prepared a rather impressive assortment of tea sandwiches, scones, and crumpets to accompany the afternoon tea. She had invited her dear friend Miss Bennet. The table was set with a fine, rich burgundy tablecloth. She hoped the accommodation would satisfy her guest

Miss Elizabeth Bennet could never show up for tea empty-handed. It seemed churlish. So she had brought a store-bought pie, which one would imagine to be a greater breach of etiquette, except that her attempts at pie would have been inedible.

She knocked on the door, quite pleased that she would be having tea today as a proper gentlewoman. It had been far too long.

Mina answered the door, smile on her face. "It is good to see you," she said. "Please, come in."

"Thank you kindly for inviting me," Lizzy said, bowing respectfully before entering. "I confess, it has been far too long since I had tea, or the pleasure of your company. I do hope this island has been well to you, since last we spoke."

One could never be certain, given the island's approach to mischief.

"The island is very kind," Mina said. "Far kinder than other places. I hope time finds you well, also?"
