Aunt Tea
She will still have it in twenty years, in her own handwriting.
Our Aunts know what nobody teaches, because they learned it the hard way. All of it goes to a younger woman over a cup of tea.
The Tea Parties are where it begins. Aunts and Darlings in one room, real cake, real china, and no script anywhere near it.
A Darling pays her Aunt directly for her hours, and belonging to Madame Monet costs her nothing on top of it.
Wild, wise and wonderful, and finally asked.
