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.

"UM."

That was an important question. "Can I be the princess of Maryland?"

"Like this," Claire said, showing Joan how to slit the stem and pull the next flower through. "An' then when you have enough for your whole head, you tie it together like this, see?"

Joan concentrated very hard on making her crown. "This is fun. Who teached you?"
