"But that is terrible. Not that I would be free of drinking it--of course, that is not unwelcome, but I would much prefer to have something to drink while working--but that you are being made to conduct your own purchasing. Where is the sense in that? Why would you undertake each and ever chore? I will say, I am not of Orlais in the way that so many others are. Of course I have an appreciation for work. I am a scholar, my research is always my own. But could I have written all that I have written if I was traipsing about purchasing tea? I will tell you: I could not have."
Imagine going to the market and purchasing tea, for yourself, always. Not just when it was amusing to do so, or when you did not trust someone to purchase the tea you wanted, or when you were in an exotic place where a trip to a market might be an adventure in of itself. No: an ordinary market, for ordinary, every-day, plainly serviceable tea. Quelle horreur.
"If you are to make a serious go of this, mademoiselle, you must learn what it is to delegate."
