I'll make a famous bread pudding, and you can boil some molasses taffy and ask those little Smithsons next door to help you pull it. They won't whine for turkey, I'll be bound. I don't suppose they ever tasted such a thing in all their lives. If I could afford it, I'd have had them all in to dinner with us. That sermon Mr. Evans preached last Sunday kind of stirred me up.
My advice to you is to keep out of the way for a while." "But but it's a lie!" broke in the indignant Taffy. "As far as I am concerned there's not a grain of truth in it!" "Oh I beg your pardon, I'm sure." "On trust good dog! What does the girl say herself?" "I don't know. I've not seen her." "Then, my dear fellow it's awkward, I admit but I'm dashed if I see what you expect me to do."
Plotner could hear in the back room, and come to wait on the customer, the smell of wintergreen and peppermint and lemonsticks and hot taffy gushed out so strong that they couldn't swallow fast enough, but stood there choking and dribbling at the mouth.
Joe, discovered, grinned sheepishly. "Thought that looked like your back," he said. "Nice evening for a walk, isn't it?" "Let me look at you, Joe," said Willy Cameron. "You look strange to me. Ah, now I have it. You look like a comet without a tail. Where's the family?" "Making taffy. How is Edith?" "Doing nicely." He avoided the boy's eyes. "I guess I'd better tell you. Dan's told me about her.
Venus, and a beautiful Welsh pony called Taffy, which her grandfather had recently purchased for her riding, had their share in the good deed; these two favourites being placed by Phoebe's desire under Jesse's sole charge and management; a measure which not only brought him necessarily into something like intercourse with the other lads about the yard, but ended in his conceiving so strong an attachment to the animals of whom he had the care, that before the winter set in he had deserted his old lair in the wood, and actually passed his nights in a vacant stall of the small stable appropriated to their use.
And here's a Banbury cake for you I sent to the town for it, and some taffy won't ye eat it? and here's a little ring 'tisn't as pretty as your own rings; and ye'll wear it, maybe, for my sake poor Milly's sake, before I was so bad to ye if ye forgi' me; and I'll look at breakfast, and if it's on your finger I'll know you're friends wi' me again; and if ye don't, I won't trouble you no more; and I think I'll just drown myself out o' the way, and you'll never see wicked Milly no more.
The people were Wesleyan Methodists or Bryanites. Each sect had its own chapel in the fishing village of Innis, on the western side of the parish; and the Bryanites a second one, at the cross-roads behind the downs, for the miners and warreners and scattered farmfolk. Ding ding ding ding ding. It was Sunday morning, and Taffy was sounding the bell, by a thin rope tied to its clapper.
They could see men, like black specks, lashed to her after rigging. Louise, between bursting waves, counted twenty of these figures. "It may be the Curlew!" she cried to the Taffy King. "Father told me in his letter there were twenty people aboard her afore and abaft. He may be out there!" and the girl shuddered. "No, no," said I. Tapp. "Not possible. Don't think of such a thing, my girl.
It was one of the dreams of her little hidden life. But nobody ever thought of such a thing. "Miss Rosemary is so sweet and she always dresses so pretty," said Di. "Her hair is just the colour of new molasses taffy," she added wistfully for Di, like her mother before her, was not resigned to her own ruddy tresses. "I like Miss Ellen, too," said Nan.
You must keep your head up, and watch my eyes and feint." Taffy couldn't help it. As soon as ever he struck out, he forgot that it was not real fighting. And he felt ashamed to look George straight in the face, for his own eyes were full of tears of excitement. At the end of the bout, when George said, "Now we must shake hands; it's the proper thing to do," he looked bewildered for a moment.
