Mrs. Fitzgerald watched sharply, screwing up her eyes to peer at us, until we had each swallowed a sip of tea--it was so strong I could feel my mouth shriveling--and a bite of scone. Then she sighed with satisfaction and settled back into her armchair. "I love a nice white scone," she said. "Them fruit ones get stuck in my falsies."

It's true: Fruit scones (particularly the seeds from berry ones)
do have a tendency to get stuck in one's teeth and/or "falsies". But that's the price you pay for deliciousness. Plain scones, I find, are tasty too--as long as they're sweet enough to distinguish themselves from savory biscuits.
