"It smells of spice and sugar, but I can't taste it; your wrist is so stiff, and you are so stingy." He indulged her, whispering, however, with gravity: "Don't tell my mother or Lucy; they wouldn't approve."
But now we are taught and disciplined for years and years, and thereafter we read and read for all the time some strenuous, nerve-destroying business permits. Pedagogic hypnotists, pulpit and platform hypnotists, book-writing hypnotists, newspaper-writing hypnotists, are at us all.

At the present time Dame Nature is made to yield annually not far from one hundred million dollars' worth of products sugar, rice, coffee, fruit, and cattle.

She had grown so forgetful, that she had not remembered that it was so soon. And just before Christmas she had had to settle a bill for coffee and sugar which, upon her word, she had not thought or known would come in until after the fair or at Midsummer! But he need not be afraid; she knew well enough where she could get the money, if she liked to tie on her bonnet and go out after it.
In an old vest he had worn in the East, his mother found a few pennies and had walked to Palo Alto and spent them for stamps for the sake of paying for something. After this explanation, Bonita did not hunt for sugar. Although things grew easier after a time, Craig was gloomy enough during the afternoons when they talked across the fence.
When they are light again, bake them in a moderate oven. They should be eaten fresh, and pulled open with the fingers, as splitting them with a knife will make them heavy. Sift two pounds of flour into a deep pan, and rub into it three quarters of a pound of butter; then mix in a pound of common white sugar powdered; and three table-spoonfuls of the best white ginger.
