A Cup of Tea

"A Cup of Tea" is a 1922 short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in the ''Story-Teller'' in May 1922. It later appeared in ''The Dove's Nest and Other Stories''.〔Katherine Mansfield, ''Selected Stories'', Oxford World's Classics, explanatory notes〕
==Plot summary==
Rosemary Fell, a young, pretty, wealthy woman, goes shopping at a florist's and in an antique shop on Curzon Street. Before going to the car, Rosemary is approached by Miss Smith, a poor girl who asks for enough money to buy tea. Instead, Rosemary drives the girl to her plush house.
At the Fells' home, Miss Smith eats her fill. She then begins to tell Rosemary of her life when Rosemary's husband, Philip, comes in. Although initially surprised, Philip recovers and asks to speak to Rosemary alone.
In the library, Philip conveys his disapproval. When Rosemary resists dismissing Miss Smith, Philip tries another, more successful, tactic. He plays to Rosemary's jealousy by telling her how pretty Miss Smith is.
Rosemary retrieves three five-pound notes and, presumably, sends the girl away. This dismissal is a far cry from Rosemary's first vow to "be frightfully nice to her" and to "look after her."
Later, Rosemary goes to her husband and informs him "Miss Smith won't dine with us tonight." She first asks about the antique box from the morning, but then arrives at her true concern: She quietly asks him, "Am I pretty?" She's very insecure.
