T leaf

I have a set of wooden scrabble tiles and holders which we use to name items on the counter.
One says "SHORTBREAD" and sits in front of an old sweet jar full of bags of handmade biscuits. One says "TIPS" and sits hopefully in front of a china pin tray. The third says "FUDGE". It's not an order.

People inevitably like to play around with the tiles. They have most fun with TIPS and we don't mind at all because a) that's what they're there for and b) they usually feel obliged to drop in some change once they've had their way with the letters.
This afternoon it was noted that the "P" from TIPS had migrated. We now had SHORPBREAD and TIS.
But this also meant that SHORPBREAD was missing a T. 
Of all things to go missing in a tea room.
The T was discovered in late afternoon under a basket of cards close to the TIS. 
I think I can work out what someone was trying to do....
