Mrs
Jamieson,
meanwhile,
was
absorbed
in
wonder
why
Mr
Mulliner
did
not
bring
the
tea;
and
at
length
the
wonder
oozed
out
of
her
mouth.
“I
had
better
ring
the
bell,
my
dear,
had
not
I?”
said
Lady
Glenmire
briskly.
“No—
I
think
not—
Mulliner
does
not
like
to
be
hurried.”
We
should
have
liked
our
tea,
for
we
dined
at
an
earlier
hour
than
Mrs
Jamieson.
I
suspect
Mr
Mulliner
had
to
finish
the
St
James’s
Chronicle
before
he
chose
to
trouble
himself
about
tea.
His
mistress
fidgeted
and
fidgeted,
and
kept
saying,
“I
can’t
think
why
Mulliner
does
not
bring
tea.
I
can’t
think
what
he
can
be
about.”
And
Lady
Glenmire
at
last
grew
quite
impatient,
but
it
was
a
pretty
kind
of
impatience
after
all;
and
she
rang
the
bell
rather
sharply,
on
receiving
a
half-permission
from
her
sister-in-law
to
do
so.
Mr
Mulliner
appeared
in
dignified
surprise.
“Oh!”
said
Mrs
Jamieson,
“Lady
Glenmire
rang
the
bell;
I
believe
it
was
for
tea.”
