A CUP OF TEA
Rosemary Fell was not exactly beautiful. Pretty? Well, if you took her to pieces... but why be
so cruel as to take anyone to pieces. She was young, brilliant, extremely modern, well dressed. She
was married and had a lovely boy. And her husband adored her. They were rich, really rich.
One winter afternoon, she was buying something in a little antique shop in Curzon Street.
The man showed her a little box, a very finely made enamel box. Rosemary liked it very much.
‘Charming!’ But what was the price? ‘Twenty-eight guineas, madam.’
Twenty-eight guineas. Even if one is rich... ‘Well keep it for me – will you?’
The door shut with a click. Rain was falling, and with the rain it seemed tha dark came too.
Suddenly, at the moment, a young girl, thin, dark, shadowy – where had she come from? – was
standing at Rosemary’s elbow and said quietly, ‘Madam, would you let me have the price of a cup
of tea?’
‘A cup of tea? Then you have no money at all?’ asked Rosemary.
‘None, madam,’ came the answer.
‘How extraordinary!’ And suddenly it seemed to Rosemary such an adventure. Supposing
she took the girl home? And she heard herself saying afterwards to the amazement of her friends,
‘I simply took her home with me,’ as she stepped forward and said, ‘Come home to tea with me.’
The girl drew back startled. ‘I meant it,’ Rosemary said, smiling. And she felt how simple
and kind her smile was . ‘Come along.’
‘You’re not taking me to the police station?’ the girl stammered.
‘The police station!’ Rosemary laughed out. ‘No, I only want to make you warm and to hear –
anything you care to tell me.’
Hungry people are easily led. The servant held open the door of the car and a moment later
they were driving through the dusk.
‘There!’ said Rosemary. She had a feeling of triumph. She could have said, ‘Now I’ve got you,’
but of course she meant it kindly. She was going to prove to this girl that rich people had hearts,
and that women were sisters.
