Kapitel 80: 079: The taste is surprisingly consistent.

At Sylvia Thompson's suggestion, the group took seats in the tea house.

Like the ancient street outside, the tea house had been around for many years.

The interior decor was charmingly antique.

They all sat down.

Sylvia ordered a pot of top-grade coffee for Mary Perryne and then kindly suggested to others, "Miss Barton and Miss Thompson, I will have coffee. Perhaps you would prefer fruit tea?"

Young girls usually can't appreciate the depths of tea and prefer the superficial fruit tea.

And so, the contrast became apparent.

Rachel Barton responded with a laugh, "No need, I'm fine with anything. Viola herself enjoys tea."

Does Viola Thompson enjoy tea?

That seems unlikely.

How many young girls enjoy the bitter monotony of green tea?

She wouldn't even taste the green tea if it weren't to cater to Mary's taste.

All she's doing is hoping to be complimented:

Miss Thompson really is like Mrs. Thompson—

What are Viola's intentions?

The answer was clear.
