" It was a very English breakfast, bacon, eggs, kidneys and cold toast. Gloriana had wanted the toast hot, but Tully, who was much more traveled than she, said the English always ate cold toast for breakfast and, to ensure that it was cold, put it in a thing called a toast rack where it had maximum exposure to the air and so could lose all its heat before being eaten.
