A Cap of Tea by Katherine Mansfield: Summary.
Answer: The story begins with a portrait of the main protagonist of the female protagonist, Rosemary Fell. She is beautiful, young, bright, very modern, extravagantly dressed, read surprisingly well. She is a very wealthy and organized team, and her parties are the most delicious mix of really important people. Her shopping is very expensive and desirable.
One winter's afternoon, Rosemary went inside an antique shop on Curzon Street. It was such a simple shop where the shopkeeper ridiculously had his hobby of serving. The guy at the counter showed her a great little enamel box with very fine glass as it baked in cream. The shopkeeper is very keen to sell this creamy box to her because he will get big gaps. The box was so expensive, Rosemary told the shopkeeper to keep it for her because of the price of eight guineas.
The weather, too, was not good on a winter afternoon. It was raining and dark. Rosemary felt a cool bitter taste in the air and thought of having an extra special tea at home. At that moment, a young thin, dark, shady, little beggar girl trembling, asked for the price of a cup of tea.
Rosemary thinks about the extraordinary more than the extraordinary adventure. Although the poor girl was very apprehensive, she brought
the trembling thin beggar girl to her big comfortable house. Rosemary wanted to
prove to the girl that miracles happen in life that the metaphorical godmother
like her is real and that rich people like her have hearts and has a female
sister.
The poor beggar girl felt a lot of discomfort in her new environment in the warmth, tenderness, high sweet smell, beautiful large bedroom, curtains, wonder furniture, gold cushions, and comfortable chairs in the rosemary house. After much hardship, Rosemary manages to manage that poor girl and forces her to eat little food sandwiches, bread and butter, and tea. The little food had a big impact on the poor beggar girl.
At this point, Philip, Rosemary's husband entered their house and wanted to know all about this real pickup. He tried hard to convince Rosemary of the difficulties of planning to be beautiful for this chosen girl, and he explained that Rosemary's plans were not only possible as Philip had to resort to some other method to get rid of this poor beggar girl. He admired the beauty of the beggar girl and evoked an enchanting feeling in Rosemary's mind.
He called her ‘beautiful’, ‘absolutely lovely’, ‘Rosemary thought the beggar girl was a rival to beauty and love. Rosemary did not want to lose her husband. He pays a gift to the poor little girl and sends her out. Rosemary dresses herself up to look attractive. She does make her hair, darkens her eyes, and wears pearls. As soon as she spoke to her husband, her voice became hoarse and troubled. Now she sees the danger in her interesting plan.
