"What's the matter, honey-sweet?" she asked quickly. "Rose Mamie, it's a lie that I don't know whether I told or not. It's so curious that I don't hardly think God knows what I did," and the General's face was set and white with his distress. "Tell me, Stonie, maybe I can help you decide," said Rose Mary with quick sympathy.
"If you'll take your medicine, she'll come back to see you," promised Anne. "Don't want her to come back want her to stay," sobbed Lois. Anne tried to soothe her with promises that she would bring Honey-Sweet back soon, dressed in a pink hat and a pink-flowered muslin. But Lois would not be consoled and Anne left her at last in tears.
So spake he, and drave the whole-hooved horses through the foss, laughing; and the other Achaians went with him joyfully. But when they had come to the well-built hut of the son of Tydeus, they bound the horses with well-cut thongs, at the mangers where the swift horses of Diomedes stood eating honey-sweet barley.
"The lotus flowers are not out yet but when they come that is the last touch of perfection. Do you remember Homer 'But whoso ate of the honey-sweet fruit of the lotus, was neither willing to bring me word again, nor to depart. Nay, their desire was to remain there for ever, feeding on the lotus with the Lotus Eaters, forgetful of all return. You know the people here eat the roots and seeds?

Searching for early recollections of trees, I remember, when a boy of six or seven, finding some little green berries or fruits, each with its long stem, on the pavement under some great trees in the Capitol Park of my home town.

"If Lois can stand that rattle-ty-banging, she can stand sight and sound of us. Let's go in," she said and she opened the door. Anne's eyes went straight to the mantel-piece. Honey-Sweet was not there. Anne looked down at the pallet, where Lois lay asleep. No Honey-Sweet there. The child's questioning, appealing eyes turned to Lois's mother. Mrs. Callahan dropped her face in her apron.
"She says she won't take that nasty old bitter old stuff. And her cheeks are so red and she breathes so rattly. Mommer's scairt. And the doctor man'll be so mad. Mommer asked her if she'd take her medicine for Honey-Sweet and she said 'Yes. So mommer say for us to run and beg you do please lend us your baby-doll to-day."
