I   never   see   half   so   many   cups   of   tea   given   without   milk   to   people   as 

wanted it with�察�nor half so many cups of tea with milk given to people as 

wanted it without。       When foaming ensued�察�Mrs。 Sniff would say�此                �Then 

you'd better settle it among yourselves�察�and change with one another。;                   It 

was a most highly delicious lark。          I enjoyed the Refreshmenting business 

more than ever�察�and was so glad I had took to it when young。 

     Our Missis returned。        It got circulated among the young ladies�察�and it 

as   it   might be   penetrated   to   me   through   the  crevices   of  the   Bandolining 

Room�察�that she had Orrors to reveal�察�if revelations so contemptible could 

be dignified   with   the name。       Agitation   become   awakened。         Excitement 

was up in the stirrups。       Expectation stood a´ tiptoe。         At length it was put 

forth that on our slacked evening in the week�察�and at our slackest time of 

that evening betwixt trains�察 �Our   Missis would give her views   of   foreign 

Refreshmenting�察�in the Bandolining Room。 

     It was arranged tasteful for the purpose。            The Bandolining table and 

glass was hid in a corner�察�a arm´chair was elevated on a packing´ case for 

Our Missis's ockypation�察�a table and a tumbler of water ��no sherry in it�察�

thankee��     was   placed    beside   it。  Two     of  the  pupils�察  �the  season    being 

autumn�察  �and   hollyhocks   and   dahlias   being   in�察  �ornamented   the   wall   with 

three devices in those flowers。          On one might be read�察 �MAY ALBION 

NEVER LEARN�察─�on another ;KEEP THE PUBLIC DOWN�察─�on another�察�

;OUR   REFRESHMENTING   CHARTER。;                        The   whole   had   a   beautiful 

appearance�察�with which the beauty of the sentiments corresponded。 

     On   Our   Missis's   brow   was   wrote   Severity�察  �as   she   ascended   the   fatal 

platform。     ��Not that that was anythink new。��            Miss Whiff and Miss Piff 

sat   at   her   feet。 Three   chairs   from   the   Waiting   Room   might   have   been 

perceived   by   a   average   eye�察  �in   front   of   her�察  �on   which   the   pupils   was 

accommodated。         Behind them a very close observer might have discerned 

a Boy。     Myself。 

     ;Where�察─�said Our Missis�察�glancing gloomily around�察 �is Sniff�拭─�

     ;I thought it better�察─�answered Mrs。 Sniff�察 �that he should not be let to 

come in。      He is such an Ass。; 

     ;No    doubt�察─   �assented    Our   Missis。    ;But    for  that   reason   is  it  not

     ;Oh�察�nothing will ever improve HIM�察─�said Mrs。 Sniff。 

     ;However�察─�pursued Our Missis�察 �call him in�察�Ezekiel。; 

     I called him in。      The appearance of the low´minded cove was hailed 

with disapprobation from all sides�察�on account of his having brought his 

corkscrew with him。          He pleaded ;the force of habit。; 

     ;The   force� ─  �said   Mrs。   Sniff。    ;Don't   let   us   have   you   talking   about 

force�察  �for   Gracious'   sake。    There�      �Do   stand   still   where   you   are�察  �with 

your back against the wall。; 

     He is a smiling piece of vacancy�察�and he smiled in the mean way in 

which he will even smile at the public if he gets a chance ��language can 

say no meaner of him���察�and he stood upright near the door with the back of 

his head agin the wall�察�as if he was a waiting for somebody to come and 

measure his heighth for the Army。 

     ;I   should    not   enter�察  �ladies�察─  �says   Our    Missis�察    �on   the   revolting 

disclosures   I   am   about   to   make�察  �if   it   was   not   in   the   hope   that   they   will 

cause   you   to   be   yet   more   implacable   in   the   exercise   of   the   power   you 

wield     in   a   constitutional     country�察    �and    yet   more     devoted     to   the 

constitutional   motto   which   I   see   before   me�察�it   was   behind   her�察  �but   the 

words sounded better so�察�'May Albion never learn��'; 

     Here the pupils as had made the motto admired it�察�and cried�察 �Hear� �

Hear�      �Hear� ─    �Sniff�察   �showing     an   inclination    to  join   in  chorus�察   �got 

himself frowned down by every brow。 

     ;The baseness of the French�察─�pursued Our Missis�察 �as displayed in the 

fawning nature of their Refreshmenting�察�equals�察�if not surpasses�察�anythink 

as was ever heard of the baseness of the celebrated Bonaparte。; 

     Miss   Whiff�察  �Miss   Piff�察  �and   me�察  �we   drored   a   heavy   breath�察  �equal   to 

saying�察   �We   thought   as   much� ─      �Miss   Whiff   and   Miss   Piff   seeming   to 

object to my droring mine along with theirs�察�I drored another to aggravate 

'em。 

     ;Shall I be believed�察─�says Our Missis�察�with flashing eyes�察 �when I tell 

you that no sooner had I set my foot upon that treacherous shore; 

     Here Sniff�察�either bursting out mad�察�or thinking aloud�察�says�察�in a low

     The cowering that come upon him when he was spurned by all eyes�察�

added to his being beneath contempt�察�was sufficient punishment for a cove 

so grovelling。      In the midst of a silence rendered more impressive by the 

turned´up female noses with which it was pervaded�察�Our Missis went on�此�

     ;Shall I be believed when I tell you�察�that no sooner had I landed�察─�this 

word with a killing look at Sniff�察  �on that treacherous shore�察�than I  was 

ushered into a Refreshment Room where there wereI do not exaggerate 

actually eatable things to eat�拭─�

     A groan burst from  the ladies。          I   not   only did   myself the honour   of 

jining�察�but also of lengthening it out。 

     ;Where there were�察─�Our Missis added�察 �not only eatable things to eat�察�

but also drinkable things to drink�拭─�

     A murmur�察�swelling almost into a scream�察�ariz。                Miss Piff�察�trembling 

with indignation�察�called out�察 �Name�拭─�

     ;I   WILL  name�察─  �said   Our   Missis。      ;There   was   roast   fowls�察  �hot   and 

cold�察  �there   was   smoking   roast   veal   surrounded   with   browned   potatoes�察�

there was hot soup with ��again I ask shall I be credited�殖� nothing bitter in 

it�察  �and   no   flour   to   choke   off   the   consumer�察  �there   was   a   variety   of   cold 

dishes   set   off   with   jelly�察  �there   was   salad�察  �there   wasmark   me�   �FRESH 

pastry�察�and that of a light construction�察�there was a luscious show of fruit�察�

there   was   bottles   and   decanters   of   sound   small   wine�察  �of   every  size�察  �and 

adapted to every pocket�察�the same odious statement will apply to brandy�察�

and these were set out upon the counter so that all could help themselves。; 

     Our   Missis's   lips   so   quivered�察  �that   Mrs。   Sniff�察  �though   scarcely   less 

convulsed than she were�察�got up and held the tumbler to them。 

     ;This�察─�proceeds Our Missis�察 �was my first unconstitutional experience。 

Well would it have been if it had been my last and worst。                  But no。     As I 

proceeded farther into that enslaved and ignorant land�察�its aspect became 

more   hideous。      I   need   not   explain   to   this   assembly   the   ingredients   and 

formation of the British Refreshment sangwich�拭─�

     Universal laughter��except from Sniff�察�who�察�as sangwich´cutter�察�shook 

his head in a state of the utmost dejection as he stood with it agin the wall。

     ;Well� ─  �said   Our   Missis�察  �with   dilated   nostrils。   ;Take   a   fresh�察  �crisp�察�

long�察�crusty penny loaf made of the whitest and best flour。 Cut it longwise 

through the middle。         Insert a fair and nicely fitting slice of ham。            Tie a 

smart piece of ribbon round the middle of the whole to bind it together。 

Add at one end a neat wrapper of clean white paper by which to hold it。 

And the universal French Refreshment sangwich busts on your disgusted 

vision。; 

     A cry of ;Shame� ─�from allexcept Sniff�察�which rubbed his stomach 

with a soothing hand。 

     ;I   need   not�察─  �said   Our   Missis�察   �explain   to   this   assembly   the   usual 

formation and fitting of the British Refreshment Room�拭─�

     No�察�no�察�and laughter。        Sniff agin shaking his head in low spirits agin 

the wall。

positively   addressing       the  public�察  �and   making   the    Beast    thinking    itself

     Contemptuous fury on the part of all the ladies。              Mrs。 Sniff looking as 

if she wanted somebody to hold her�察�and everbody else looking as if they'd 

rayther not。
