Five o'clock tea - crazy victorian era
Afternoon tea, a tradition that was born in the Victorian era.
A pleasant moment of aggregation which, however, hid some pitfalls, especially for the hostess who had to know the etiquette perfectly.
One misstep in front of the guests and the gossips could have put an end to her social life!
