“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.“ — Henry James
(I think that this Cryptoquote was likely timed to coincide with the coronation of Charles III. I’m not a big tea drinker. Coffee in the AM, and green tea with dinner . . . most nights. But black tea doesn’t interest me, especially with the clotted? cream! I drink my coffee black. I’m also not a fan of scones. Too hard . . . and dry . . . and bland. They’re like a biscuit gone wrong! It’s hard to believe I’m half English! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

I was thinking the same thing, UR, about the timing of this Cryp. But, regarding tea-n-scones, as the kingless French say, “Chacun à son goût!”
I say being “kingless” makes the French more like us than those stinking Limeys, hal! And, you can give me French pastry over English scones any ol’ day! LOL! — YUR
