The substance is called ice cream, but in Britain a single portion of it may also be called an ice. So if two or more people have portions of ice cream (or indeed if one person has more than one portion), they may be said to have ices. This terminology was perhaps more common then than now.
Where in the series does Roger say, of some recently eaten ice cream, "the glasses weren't nearly as thick as they are in some shops"?
I have a feeling it's the last line of a chapter.
Had ice-cream cones/cornets been invented then?
