Tea, on the other hand, was a much more subtle and genteel venue for meeting and flirting (fans were popular) and finding occasions -- like handing someone their cup or a plate of biscuits -- for touching.

It's really a wonderful story, and will completely change your perception of everybody's least-favourite Bennet sister.
