"Mamma, mamma," said Bobby, running up to his mother, "you must buy something of her," and he pointed with his fingers at the shop-girl. "You must give her two kisses for that heap of barley-sugar." Looking at Bobby's mouth at the time, one would have said that his kisses might be dispensed with.
Prince Certainpersonio was sitting by himself, eating barley-sugar, and waiting to be ninety. When he saw the peacocks, followed by the carriage, coming in at the window it immediately occurred to him that something uncommon was going to happen.
When her little son, therefore, saw and pitied a small boy with shoeless feet, his mother quickly reminded him of his little money-box. 'Would you rather keep the money for barley-sugar, Willie, or give it to the poor boy? she asked. 'Give it to the boy, he said at once, and so learnt his first lesson in self-denial.
But let us hasten to add that Quiquendone has neither industry nor commerce, and that it does very well without them. Its barley-sugar and whipped cream are consumed on the spot; none is exported. In short, the Quiquendonians have no need of anybody.
After that, there was a spread in the dining-room of the most magnificent kind.

It has its manias for the month, for the season, for the year, like its manias of a day.

Glass was plentiful in the better houses.
"Here, Davie!" holding out to him an amber-like piece of barley-sugar. "I don't want your stuff," said David roughly. "You've spent all away from the pig." "No, Davie, indeed, only twopence," said Susan; "pray have a bit." "You might at least say thank you," said Miss Fosbrook. But how difficult is that middle road which is the only right one!
