Tea clipper

‘Is the Keppel wench there? Fine buttocks she’d got. But — tea! I’m eighty-eight next May, and I attribute my longevity to an almost total abstinence from tea. Except the jasmine variety — used to drink that out East . . . ’


Mr American, pp.188-9, Pan Books, paperback edition 1982.

Flashman in the Great Game, p.100, Pan edition, 4th printing, 1979.
