Cory: Eddie's inviting me to have afternoon tea this afternoon. He's baking cookies
and cakes at Darcy's Inn, his bakery. Do you want to go?
David: Why not? I am a snack and tea animal, you know, and what's more, I can't find
any better snacks in our city.
Cory: Me, either. But do you know when and where afternoon tea started?
David: Well, it started in London in 1840s. At that time, most people ate two times:
in the morning and in the evening. A duchess named Anna Maria Russell was
often hungry in the afternoon. She began to have tea and snacks. Sometimes,
her friends were with her.)
Cory: Wow! You really know a lot.

David: There's more. (In the 1840s, people started afternoon tea with sandwiches.
Then they have scones. After that, small cakes, muffins, and pancakes came
out one by one and were also popular.
Cory: How about drinks?
David: People then usually had black tea, but now coffee, juice, and oolong tea are also
good picks.
Cory: OK! I'll pick you up at your apartment at 1:30 p.m., all right?
David: Deal! But maybe we should take something to him. He likes roses, doesn't he?
Cory: Of course, he cannot live without them.
David: I'll pick some at Ian's Garden later.
