The Cream of the Crème

"Do you call that cream?"
"Yes. The lumps are all the more fancy."

"That is foreigner's crème not Anglaise cream."

"'Tis a marvel, I know."

Friar Tooke grunted, he liked his cream to be straight off the top and not diddled with - the panjacks were better rustic than fancy. This was not a good omen to begin the day.
