Before accompanying them thither, it is necessary to say a few words of this Madame Carson, who is about to play a very singular part in this little drama. She was a gay, well-looking, symmetrically-shaped young widow, who kept a confectioner's shop in the said Grande Rue, and officiated as her own dame du comptoir.
In the course of an hour, supper, consisting of vegetable salad, cold veal, pastry, confectioner's pies, and champagne, was served. They made Akakiy Akakievitch drink two glasses of champagne, after which he felt things grow livelier.

Parlin; "and now, as the little people seem to be doing very nicely, suppose we go out for a walk, and call at a confectioner's on our way home." Susy felt very much flattered by this surprise party. It gave her an assurance that she was held in kind remembrance by her schoolmates, many of whom had been "burnt out," and knew exactly how to sympathize with her.
May we regard this joy of the Holy Ghost, not only as a beautiful thing to admire, not only as a thing to have beautiful thoughts about, but as a blessing that we are going to claim. We often see a fruiterer's or confectioner's shop, with beautiful fruit or cake temptingly displayed in the window.
He had not heard of the fire, and he stared with interest at the ruins as Bart explained that, until some new arrangement was made, express shipments would be accepted and loaded by truck.

Sally 's been under my care, now, dis some time, and she does most as well as me, considerin; and if Missis would only let me go, I would help fetch up de money. I an't afraid to put my cake, nor pies nother, 'long side no perfectioner's. "Confectioner's, Chloe." "Law sakes, Missis! 'tan't no odds; words is so curis, can't never get 'em right!" "But, Chloe, do you want to leave your children?"

"The esplanade must lie at our left," said Win. "If we keep turning in that direction we shall surely strike it." "Look at that candy," exclaimed Roger, attaching himself to a confectioner's window.
'I had some peanuts, and two sucks of Joe's orange; but it warn't very fillin', he said, gravely. 'I should think not. Here! one stew; and be quick, please, cried John, as we sat down in a warm corner of the confectioner's opposite.
