His old brimless hat looked like a dilapidated tea-cosy on his head, and to prevent it from being carried off by the wind it was kept on with an old flannel shirtsleeve tied under his chin.

She has just painted a really exquisite tea-cosy for me.

One evening, as they were all three sitting cosily in Henry's study,as they still faithfully called it,Esther was reading "Pride and Prejudice" aloud, while Dot and Mat busied themselves respectively with "macramé" work and a tea-cosy against a coming bazaar.

Make enough for two, in case: pour it off into another pot, and have it under the tea-cosy.

A tea-cosy will do.
