Direct speech
Hello...
In the following passage....
Nobody ever used their very best china on my account before. And we had fruit cake and pound cake and doughnuts and two kinds of preserves, Marilla. And Mrs. Barry asked me if I took tea and said ‘Pa, why don’t you pass the biscuits to Anne?’ It must be lovely to be grown up, Marilla, when just being treated as if you were is so nice.’
**********
If we change the underlined part into direct speech, can it be either one of the two below?
1. said to me, "Do you take tea?"
2. said to me, "Did you take tea?"
Or, is only one of the two possible?
