The Afternoon Tea Story
The story begins, as all good stories should, Every day around 4pm as Duchess Anna was sipping tea, she would feel the growl of her belly and look longingly at the clock wishing the hours away until she was invited down for dinner. One day, having eaten very little at lunch, she could no longer bear the wait and ordered from the kitchen her pot of tea accompanied by some buttered bread and cakes.
