Am I right.....?

Last duty of the season at the John Buchan museum. A bit early, and the ran still sweeping the streets, so I opened up, left my stuff, locked up again and went along to the Tontine Hotel for a cup of coffee and a slice of toast.

Observation. When women sit for coffee on a settee they perch on the edge and face each other. When men sit for coffee on a settee they loll back and talk to each other by turning their heads only. Discuss!
