A sound from Fleur distracted his attention. "Look! The people who were in the Gallery with us." "What people?" muttered Soames, who knew perfectly well. "I think that woman's beautiful." "Come into this pastry-cook's," said Soames abruptly, and tightening his grip on her arm he turned into a confectioner's.
And, later on, after Pauline had married Labitte the stonemason, and Leonie, Salvat the journeyman-engineer, Hortense, while serving as assistant at a confectioner's in the Rue des Martyrs, there became acquainted with Chretiennot, a clerk, who married her.
Quoth Baba Mustapha, ''Tis ordered, O my princess and fair mistress, from the confectioner's; and with it the sleepy drug from the seller of medicaments accursed flea! Now, she laughed, and said, 'What am I, O Baba Mustapha? So he said, 'Not thou, O bright shooter of beams, but I, wullahy!
And little cobby dinner-rolls from the confectioner's, with crisp, browny crust, cut open and stuffed with butter and potted meat, and little green pieces of lettuce. They had them that way at supper at the Masons' party, and they were superb! And cakes and fruit! Do, mother, let us have a real swagger lunch just for once!"

It was after five o'clock when Sherlock Holmes left me, but I had no time to be lonely, for within an hour there arrived a confectioner's man with a very large flat box.
