And so Daisy rattled on with her small , tiresome talk , to which Bessie sometimes listened and sometimes did not . The Rossiter-Brownes were in Leamington now , but were coming through Wales on their way to Liverpool , and Mrs. Browne and Augusta were to stop for a day or two at the `` George '' and take Daisy with them when they left . `` I wish we could show them some attention , '' Daisy said to her daughter . `` Do n't you think we might manage a French tea in the garden at four o'clock ? We have some rare old china and some solid silver and Dresden linen , and we could get Lucy Jones to wait upon us . Do you think we can do it ? '' `` Perhaps we can , '' Bessie replied , reflecting that a French tea in the garden at four o'clock meant only thin slices of bread and butter , with biscuits and possibly some little sponge cakes which would not cost much .
