- Abstract
-
The Blue Stocking meeting over a tea table has dissolved into one of furious combat. Five pairs of women beat each other with their fists and tear at each other's hair and clothes. One woman empties a boiling pot of tea over her prostrate foe while another assaults her opponent with the kettle-stand. Cats and dog leap about in dismay at the scene of vicious fighting, trying to escape the cascade of the falling tea setting
