" Make me some tea, please, Céleste."
Quite unusual language for Proust, isn't it ? Normally, he would ask like that :
" If you would be so kind, Céleste, with your ever-gracious presence, to prepare a pot of that fragrant blend, which - when poured into the finest porcelain, conjures memories of distant afternoons spent in tranquil rêverie - I would be eternally grateful."
