Some circulating library novel? Do not be uneasy, the bag only contained a roll and a paper of bonbons from Boissier, dainties which play an important part in my story.

She leaned nearer, pale now with her excitement, and with her large eyes gleaming and melting with passionate entreaty.

But behold! the next morning when the old woman, awakened early by the cold, went downstairs oh, wonder of wonders she saw the big chimney filled with shining toys, bags of magnificent bonbons, and riches of every sort, and standing out in front of all this treasure, was the right wooden shoe which the boy had given to the little vagabond, yes, and beside it, the one which she had placed in the chimney to hold the bunch of switches.
Pointing an accusing finger at the dancing senator, she cried in a loud voice: "That's the man who stole my bonbons! Seize him! Arrest him! Don't let him escape!"

Here, child," to Phronsie, "pick out your bonbon so that I can snap it with you."
The mule was obstinate and wilful and soon grew restive under the weight of the box and began to prance and kick. He did this so effectually that he threw Gourmandinet and his precious box of bonbons upon the ground. Gourmandinet, who had never ridden upon a horse or mule, fell heavily with his head upon the stones and died instantly.
That will supply you with Maillard's bonbons for almost a year; will sweeten your bereavement." She rose instantly, with a peculiar sparkle leaping up in her splendid eyes.

But when appealed to, the cook said they were beyond her, and must be purchased from the professional ice-cream maker, who had the necessary forms.
