“May I offer some refreshment?" Miss Pink asked, mincingly. "A cup of tea?" Lady Lydiard shook her head."A glass of water?"Lady Lydiard declined the last hospitable proposal with an exclamation of disgust. "Have you got any beer?" she inquired."I beg your Ladyship's pardon," said Miss Pink, doubting the evidence of her own ears. "Did you say - beer?"Lady Lydiard gesticulated vehemently with her fan. "Yes, to be sure! Beer! beer!"Miss Pink rose, with a countenance expressive of genteel disgust, and rang the bell. "I think you have beer downstairs, Susan?" she said, when the maid appeared at the door."Yes, Miss.""A glass of beer for Lady Lydiard," said Miss Pink, under protest. "Bring it in a jug," shouted her Ladyship, as the maid left the room.””
