Grannie's Cup of Tea

"To-day 'the cup that cheers' is to be found in every homestead in Scotland, but years ago such was not the case.

Tea was used secretly and the tea caddy was hidden carefully.  The granny might be seen finding comfort in the tea cup, but trouble was in store for the peasant's wife who was discovered in such extravagant weakness."
