"No," said Florence.  "This is a new pot.  The old one was all finsihed. so 
I poured away the dregs, pu the tea leaves in the drainer, and made a fesh 
pot with new leaves."

There was certainly no redisue in this cup.

However, several people in the room might be surprised to learn that the 
Beamans could be so extravagent with their tea ... most people made the 
leaves do for several pots.
