Ms. Weston brews tea for Mr. Fleming, asks black or white, and he chooses black. She explains tea needs the right temperature and patience to bloom in water, then offers him a sip. When Mr. Fleming asks if she behaves like this with everyone, she replies only certain drinkers get this hard-to-brew tea and calls him bold, saying she would have been thrown out otherwise. Mr. Gallagher interrupts with an invitation to Gin Club tomorrow. Ms. Weston departs, promising to continue their conversation next time, leaving Mr. Fleming with an invitation and an unfinished decision.
