The tea party had officially started now that everyone was in attendance. The centre table that previously had a few snacks to indulge in was now slowly starting to fill up as servants of the Watts family began coming out from the kitchen with more prepared food.
There were several types of confectionery, such as scones, cupcakes and shortbread cookies, as well as some light meals and finger food for those who wanted something more savoury, such as a large variety of finger sandwiches and quiches.
The servants began making their rounds to each table, asking everyone what type of tea they'd like. When the servants came around to Arthur's table, his group ordered three Earl Grey teas and one Darjeeling, with Maria being the odd one out.
