The Park, Sunday Afternoon, The Grand Tea

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina Harker wasn't particularly fond of children. However, given the alternatives, it seemed a great idea to put them through a bit of culture. Her equal partner in all of this was, of course, the most proper lady she knew of in town: Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Together, they organized the tables (with extra tiny chairs not just for the children, but if any of the young ones had brought along Mr. Bear to enjoy the event), the tea (of all sorts), and the assorted other bits (scones, crumpets, jam, little cucumber sandwiches and the like).

They also had some rather cheap (they were messy child types, so it made sense not to make them too extravagant) gloves for the little girls, so that they could enjoy the tea properly.

If anyone acted up too much, well, there was Mina Harker on the premises.

"Awww." Angela pouted in sympathy. "My dad doesn't do 'em either."

"Yup! Marco tried saying I had cooties yesterday."

A travesty, that.

"Hann'bal said eating pastels was like Kool Aid."

See, they both have their supporting experiences!

Joan made a face. "Ew."

Not that she knew what a pastel was.

"It was gross," Angela shared, wrinkling her nose in a sort of agreement. "So we spat them out again."

"Boys always eat gross stuff," Joan said.

"Cookies is ALWAYS GOOD," Joan agreed.

"They have chocolate in!" And that, was why.
