She had never thought of life as a thing like this in the days when she had danced down to the confectioner's, intent on good times.
After the lamb-chops and peas had been discussed, Edgar insisted on changing the plates and putting on the tomato salad; then Polly officiated at the next course, bringing in coffee, sliced oranges, and delicious cake from the neighboring confectioner's. "Can't I wash the dishes?" asked Edgar, when the feast was ended. "They are not going to be washed, at least by us.
They ate cakes from the confectioner's with syrup over them, and drank chocolate, and then Louise played a hymn-tune, in her best style, on her violin, and Peer read the Christmas lessons from the prayer-book it was all just like what they used to do at Troen on Christmas Eve. And that night, after the lamp was put out, they lay awake talking over plans for the future.
The front shop-window was especially interesting to us children, for there were in it a few glass jars containing sticks of striped barley-candy, and red and white peppermint-drops, and that delectable achievement of the ancient confectioner's art, the "Salem gibraltar." One of my first recollections of my father is connected with that window.
"But fate decreed it otherwise. In my feverish haste, I had forgotten to place among the stores of my pirate craft that peculiar kind of chocolate caramel to which Eliza Jane was most partial. We were obliged to put into New Rochelle on the second day out, to enable Miss Sniffen to procure that delicacy at the nearest confectioner's, and match some zephyr worsteds at the first fancy shop.

We always left the front with the ordinary comforts of an ambulance train; by the time we reached Capetown we looked like a sort of cross between a green-grocer's stall and a confectioner's shop. We simply didn't know what to do with the masses of fruit and flowers, puddings and jellies, which the people along the line forced upon us.
'We must humour this rich lady's caprices, he decided inwardly; and as unconstrainedly as she had questioned him he answered, 'Yes; I am going to be married. 'To whom? To a foreigner? 'Yes. 'Did you get acquainted with her lately? In Frankfort? 'Yes. 'And what is she? May I know? 'Certainly. She is a confectioner's daughter. Maria Nikolaevna opened her eyes wide and lifted her eyebrows.
