But no more after this post, because coffee really isn’t good for kids. From Horatio Alger’s Ragged Dick; or, Street Life in New York with the Boot Blacks (1868). Dick (later Richard Hunter), treats a fellow boot black to breakfast:
“What’ll you have, Johnny?”Coffee and beefsteak is standard breakfast fare in this novel, sometimes with rolls or bread.
“Same as you.”
“Cup o’ coffee and beefsteak,” ordered Dick.
These were promptly brought, and Johnny attacked them vigorously.
