*Busily setting up tea urns, covered plates of different varieties of cakes, chocolates, biscuits, tiramasu, pies, pastries, scones and muffins. Gets the cappuchino machines humming along with the espresso. Wonders what she has forgotten? Dusts her hands on her apron and waits for her first customer. Puts up a sign outside the tent that reads:
TEA TENT

Hi, mari-rae! 
I am looking for a place for using my coffee-making skills. Titania suggested to ask if you could use me here.

Thank you, Hati! I'd love to have you helping me. Just set up the coffee machines where you'd like them and we'll run extension cords to hook everything up. I'm baking 
s at the moment; blueberry, heathbar crunch, irish cream, and plain for starters.

Great!
Just I hate coffee machines. I could do just with a stove or fireplace. I have my pots and pans with me and all the coffee too.

Ok, we've been working way too hard here... let's sit down for a break. Would you like some 
and a nibble?

Oh, sure! 
It is not wise to kill yourself with the work, you know...

I don't hear the piano playing... I bet that Kes has wandered into the beer tent! 
I think that the Festival is going to be a lot of fun!

A nice way you have to keep eye on Kes.
Makes me wonder if we actually have a piano the summerhouse...

Everybody who can play the 1st piano concert by Chaikovsky the way I turn 
are wonderful pianists. I'd like to check it out.
OTOH I burst into tears quite easily.

Is it too early to have a cream ?
I do hope you have clotted cream and 
jam to put on the scones?

and things
