More on description

Again from Sun Also Rises, p. 201:
Back in the town I went to the cafe to have a second coffee and some buttered toast. The waiters were sweeping out the cafe and mopping off the tables. One came over and took my order ... He went away and came back with the long-handled coffee and milk pots.
"Long-handled: you know exactly what I'm talking about, ladies and gentlemen, you know you've all thought it! Am I right or am I right?"
