teashops

The son of a poor rickshaw-puller who is taken out of school as a boy and put to work in a teashop, Balram nurses dreams of escape.

And he told her what had happened in Madam Puddifoot's teashop.

There was total silence within the teashop.

The sight made Harry feel uncomfortable, particularly when, looking around the teashop, he saw that t was full of nothing but couples, all of them holding hands.

" Oh, there's a really nice place just up here; haven't you ever been to Madam Puddifoot's? " she said brightly, she led him up a side road and into a small teashop that Harry had never noticed before.
