Mrs. Somers, handing it to him: "I'm so glad you take your tea au naturel, as I call it."
Campbell: "What do you call it when they don't take it with cream and sugar?"
Mrs. Somers: "Au unnaturel. There's only one thing worse: taking it with a slice of lemon in it. You might as well draw it from a bothersome samovar at once, and be done with it."
Campbell: "The samovar is picturesque."
Mrs. Somers: "It is insincere. Like Californians. Natives."
Campbell: "Well, I can think of something much worse than tea with lemon in it."
Mrs. Somers: "What?"
Campbell: "No tea at all."
Mrs. Somers, recollecting herself: "Oh, poor Mr. Campbell! Two lumps?"
