Quote #4
But it was too exciting to stand and think any longer, and he pulled the parasol out of the earth with a jerk and was impatient to find the place where one had tea with other people, like other people. "Come along, Trissie; it's time we had our tea." (26-27)
The young man is eager to act according to expected models of behavior. What a square. What does his preoccupation with being "like other people" tell us about him and about the greater social conventions that govern "Kew Gardens"? Why is he especially concerned with this and how might his concern for convention tie in with his youth and his relationship to Trissie? Man, there sure can be a lot attached to something as simple as tea.
