I wonder if this wouldn't have been a reference to the T of T-rooms,
or at least a pun on that, rather than just a reference to the
literal taking of tea.  Maybe that's an anachronistic take on it, and
I don't have my Bruce Rodgers on me, but I suspect "T-room" was
already extant in '67, at least in New York.

I suspect I know what "T-room" means, but I'd rather not leave it at that. Definition, please?
