Wonderful Heidi! Is someone hiding out in the manor house I ask myself? I can't believe it's Sebastion, he's been such a trusty retainer for years ha ha.
Thank you, April! What a wonderful pair of Haikus to add to the incredible collection! Question: would it be more appropriate to refer to the tea as a High Tea? It takes place at 5 pm. Thank you for your expert advice in advance!
Ha ha -I believe that afternoon tea is between 2 and 4 and high tea is anytime after 5. Usually it is afternoon tea that the very posh people have and the 5 o clock version is normally for lower classes! I believe in the manor they would probably have Afternoon Tea at 4. Of course, I'm not that posh and I also prefer coffee. Although if I was drinking tea it would be black Earl Grey with lemon! Hope that helps :)
Thank you, April! That is most excellent! It confirms my own research. Perhaps the Critter Detectives are perceived on the Purrington Estate as being slightly less than Posh, although they arrived in the late afternoon from their travels.:) We'll be sure to keep the Posh timeframe for Afternoon Tea in the 4 pm range when the guests arrive.:) Earl Grey is my favorite tea, too. The end.
Well, an inside job...could someone be lurking in the secret chamber of the library? I guess we'll find out next week. Thanks for this thrilling thriller, Heidi and critters.
Woah she does it again! Another cliff hanger! I’m all ears, paws and toe beans waiting to find out why Archibald has collapsed. So glad the critters are enjoying scones and tea. Very proper!
Thank you, Trudi! The Critters so appreciate your feedback on English authenticity! Kibble scones could become a real thing.:) Please, stay tuned for character developments with Archibald.:) The End.
Excellent chapter Heidi. I'm looking forward to reading where this story is going - especially with the technology side of things. Very interesting. Haha, I liked the mention of kibble scones. ;)
Haha! A wonderful Butler joke at the end there. I'm luvluvluving this tale of an old manor house full of secrets... 😎
Thank you, Chris! The Critters are most pleased to have your readership for their latest detective adventures! Thank you very much. The end.

World spins on axis
In the quaint land of the Brits
Its time for high tea
An English cuppa
Is the ultimate cure all
Question the butler!

Thank you, Neil! Chris might need an app for that! We might need to develop a real life recipe for kibble scones. Full stop.:)
Haha! Great idea!
Maybe we should list CwC under the Food Category here on Substack.:)
