William was in the yard sipping tea and watching his TV series when Nathaniel sauntered into the garden.
"Mr. Richardson, have you had dinner?" Alice quickly got up to greet Nathaniel.
Nathaniel seemed to be in good spirits, but there was an unnatural expression on his face. He chuckled dryly and said, "Oh, Alice is here too! That's great! I was about to ask William to call you."
William remained seated without moving an inch and said, "Nathaniel, how about some tea? This is a rare tea, You can't get this anywhere else."
"Rare? More precious than the big box of Lipton tea bags I buy from the supermarket?" Nathaniel quipped, but he still took a seat on the stone bench.
Alice hurriedly poured him a cup and said with a smile, "Mr. Richardson, this tea is really good, please have a taste."
The teacup William held was worth a fortune, and the tea leaves were a rarity in the world.
