Well, Sen Soushitsu (the past grand master of the Urasenke school of Japanese tea ceremony) coined the aphorism "Peace in a bowl of tea" ... reckon this is a good example :wink:

Really, how lovely to disarm someone by sharing tea with them. A wonderful story.

Maybe next time she'll try something else.

Nice Japanese lady: Would Thief-san care for a brandy before absconding?
Thief: No. Thank you.
Nice Japanese lady: Some varm milk... perhaps?
Thief: No... thank you very much. No thanks.
Nice Japanese lady: Ovaltine?
