Swell tea party reflections in Washington society
A witty, breathless Washington society sketch describes a late 19th century swell tea hosted in a grand house. Guests arrive in navy carriages, courtesies are traded, and social dancing of introductions, glances, and champagne fills the room, revealing a blend of high rank and social fatigue. The narrator laments the crowded, stiff atmosphere, the perfumed rituals, and the absence of genuine conversation amid opulent but suffocating sociability.
