"He can make us a visit," she said, nodding "a visit of three weeks!" She smiled happily. Miss Stone smiled back, shaking her head. "He could not leave the fruit-shop " But the child ignored it. "He will come," she said quickly, "and we shall talk and talk about the gods, you know " She lifted her eyes, "and we shall go in the fields He will come!"
But now here were toys and things which Whiting, in a climax of generosity, had culled from bake-shop and grocer, from flower-shop, fruit-shop, and confectioner. He snapped out the light and drove on. He had still a half-hour for his adventure. It took just three of the thirty minutes to slide up to the curb in front of the tall tenement. He made three trips in and up to the top floor.
Thanks to them, we enjoy a sort of terrestrial immortality; and if other beings succeed one another, man alone perpetuates himself. September 15th, Eight O'clock This morning, while I was arranging my books, Mother Genevieve came in, and brought me the basket of fruit I buy of her every Sunday. For the nearly twenty years that I have lived in this quarter, I have dealt in her little fruit-shop.
Lady Cowry has it from Sir Meeson Corby, who had it from the poor dowager, that Lord Fleetwood has installed the man in his house and sits at the opposite end of his table; fished him up from Whitechapel, where the countess is left serving oranges at a small fruit-shop.
This may do now. It will not do ten centuries hence. For the English, too, are a changeable people in the sight of ulterior Time.

Mr. Thornton said.
He seemed to exist for nothing but the child: he tended it, he dandled it, he chatted to it, living with it alone in his one room above the fruit-shop, only asking his landlady to take care of the marmoset during his short absences in fetching and carrying home work.
It was a gorgeous attraction of morning light.... A Chinese slipped into a fruit-shop one of the house-servants. Bedient made his way to the water-front. The Hatteras was out there in the harbor, surrounded by lighters, preparing for the return voyage to New York. This was the lure. It came with a pang that disordered all other mental matters for a space.
I had noticed her empty fruit-shop, which nobody came into, and being attracted by its forsaken appearance, made my little purchases in it. I have always instinctively preferred the poor shops; there is less choice in them, but it seems to me that my purchase is a sign of sympathy with a brother in poverty.
Every Sunday she brought a present of fruit; Thyrza knew well with how much care the little bunch o grapes or the sweet pears had been picked out on Saturday night at the fruit-shop in Lambeth Walk. 'You're a foolish old Lyddy, to spend your money on me in this way, she said once. 'As if I hadn't everything I want.
