Tea-Table Talk by Jerome K. Jerome is a rich enjoyment of the rewards of frivolous fun to be had among poets, philosophers, and beautiful ladies at tea. Excerpt: "They are very pretty, some of them," said the Woman of the World; "not the sort of letters I should have written myself." "I should like to see a love letter of yours," interrupted the Minor Poet. "It is very kind of you to say so," replied the Woman of the World."
