The elephant in the room

I swear, I promise that when I started out on this story, I did not know it was going to end like this!






The Robur tea shop, where I think this happy scene takes place, was possibly in George Street, Sydney. I have lots more questions now...


Who are those people?

Why did all the women leave the table?

And why didn't an extensive search on 'elephant' turn up 'elephant's tea party'?
