TEA TIME AT THE CROQUET COURT, WITH ALREADY A BIT SOILED WHITE GLOVES, NO LESS!

There was, simply, no way to handle this afternoon's tea time chocolate chip cupcake, cut into slices, spread with jam and bananas, then reassembled and doused with apple butter...without producing a big mess on a plate, fingers , tabletop or lap......So,,,a glass bowl to the rescue....and an antique dessert spoon, thereby saving Lord Darlington's starched plackard shirt bib from what would have been an existentially embarassing dining room peril of clumbsy inappropriation.....You can relax, now, Lord Augustus, the potentially humiliating, egregious breach of etiquette has been thwarted....and, you may discretely lick the antique 'lap of Venus' spoon's bowl , while the rest of us pretend 'not to notice'....That IS the dog's job, you know!
