Menorah Jams, Pham:
Guinea tea? Oh my word, surely you would not jest at the inferior quality of teas from New Guinea! Or perhaps you wouldn't intend to insult my daddy's lineage by claiming that our blood has even a drop of those Italians in it! Why, such would be tantamount to spitting upon the ghosts of the brave men who fought in gray at Chancellorsville, the cavaliers of our line!

Oh, you make me laugh, Mr. Muffin, you do make me laugh. Surely you needn't even ask a good Southern girl what kind of tea she favors! Why, can not even your fancy Yankee libraries yield but a clue on the South and the life we Southerners lead?

Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin:
Hmm, that depends on if you actually know what you're looking for, m'dear. It was kind of an abrupt transition to "southern grand dame" (fourth-wall joke!) Now, however, I'm thinking of sweet tea. :3

Menorah Jams, Pham:
Oh my, you would do so well to avoid phrases such as "grand dame," sir, especially around the help. We wouldn't want Tiberius and the rest of the house slaves to think that we're French abolitionists now, no?

But oh yes, you do strike close to this belle's heart on sweet tea. For me there is none other! Although I must admit, the oolong that Mr. Lee - the very same grandchild of good old Robert E., defender of our fair states - brought back on his latest expedition to China! Tell me, Mr. Muffin, you ARE cultured enough to have been on the Grand Tour? My, I do miss the harborage of Shanghai indeed!

Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin:
Knowing the times, do you think I could have refrained from going on a Grand Tour? Indeed I did! Now I feel I most cherish my memories of my visits to Rome -- I actually had a painting commissioned of myself at the Colosseum, but the poor painter fell ill and was unable to finish. Gentleman that I was, I couldn't bear to accept a full refund. Of course, that wasn't the best memories of the journey, but it was certainly among the most poignant ...

Menorah Jams, Pham:
Oh, praise the Name of Jesus that you made it safe through the lands of the un-Christian! The European monarchs have turned so wholly to the evils of atheism and the Papists that they indeed will burn in Satan's flaming grasp! Oh dear me, I must say a prayer for the souls of the Papists that they may find their savior in Christ the Redeemer and be welcomed into His bosom!

Do tell me, dear friend in Christ, how did Jesus lead you closer to the Lord's Work in converting the European heathens? Don't tell me you were... in the name of Christ, protect me - don't tell me you were even exposed to those J-J-... oh, Lord help me to do Your work, I can barely bring myself to say it -

*whispers* Did you run into any of the J-J-J-Jew people?
