Q the quadrille, which I think came from France;
The place where all children learn early to dance.

R was the room where the dancing took place,
In French called “le salon,” or else “la pièce.”

S was the sideboard for things stored away;
Cupboard, or sideboard, in French is “buffet.”

T was the tray (in French called “plateau”)
All laden with jellies and cream whipped like snow.
