"Ah, mugs. How very American. No, we won't be using mugs. I'm going to attempt to make you a proper cup of English tea, in spite of this box." I frown again at the box, but add the leaves to a china pot I've located and pour the hot water in to let them steep.
"There must be china cups and saucers here, let me see, let me see, AH. Yes."
I've managed to locate some cups with the Ritz logo embossed in gold on the sides. Quite nice cups, actually. The tea steeped, I pour us each a cupful."
"So then. Milk? One lump or two?"
So nice to be asking such pleasantries, rather than the questions I've been asking of late, things like 'So, this is it, we're all going to die' or 'Zaphod, I don't think you should push that button'.
