But the surest way to stop writing about Rome is to stop. I wished to write a real "guide-book" chapter on this fascinating city, but I could not do it, because I have felt all the time like a boy in a candy-shop there was every thing to choose from, and yet no choice. I have drifted along hopelessly for a hundred pages of manuscript without knowing where to commence. I will not commence at all.
His musings were answered by the suggestive pressure of Storch's hand on his. "There's a skirt on the Rialto, anyway," Storch was saying, with disdain. Fred kept his gaze fixed upon the candy-shop window. He was afraid to look up. Could it be that Ginger was passing before him, perhaps for the last time? He caught the vague reflection of a feminine form in the plate-glass window.
We won't take any chances of missing the firebug at any time of night or day." It proved to be a remarkably quiet evening with only one little blaze in a candy-shop on Seventh Avenue. Most of the time we sat around trying to draw the men out about their thrilling experiences at fires. But if there is one thing the fireman doesn't know it is the English language when talking about himself.
The candy-shop and cigar-store, both holding heavy liabilities against the academy, quickly followed. By the lurid gleams of the flames, a long, low, sloop-rigged scow, with every mast gone except one, slowly worked her way out of the mill-dam towards the Sound. The next day three boys were missing C. F. Adams Golightly, B. F. Jenkins, and Bromley Chitterlings. Had they perished in the flames?
And usually, just as you reached the door on your hurried way to the nearest candy-shop, she would scare you almost stiff by calling you back, and say: "Wait a minute, Willie, I found another one that I didn't know was in here!" And then you kissed her wrinkled, soft check and ran away thinking, after all, grandmother was pretty good. Good?
It just occurs to me," she added with an infections laugh, "that the last time I remember saying anything about it I told father that when I grew up I should keep a candy-shop." "And eat all you wanted, of course," added Charlotte as they all laughed. "That was my first idea, too." "And what's your present idea?" asked Betty.

Rose Red's, for this Fourth, ran thus: "Two pounds of Chocolate Caramels. Two pounds of Sugar almonds.
They put it on in turn and guessed and guessed what kind of a shop Grandpa Grumbles would open. Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes said, "Will it be a candy-shop?" Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella fiercely and grumbled, "I told you, you could not guess. I am going to open a Toy Shop!" "A Toy Shop!" shouted the Seventeen Little Bears at the top of their lungs. "A Toy Shop!"
