Fifty in a class, who know nothing, with those flabby little hands, and all of them must be taught to write; they carry in their pockets bits of licorice, buttons, phial corks, pounded brick, all sorts of little things, and the teacher has to search them; but they conceal these objects even in their shoes.
"Mmm mm!" exclaimed Licorice Stick, as if a hot frankfurter had actually been produced by this ingenious card trick. "Then you go along a little way," said Pee-wee, "till you come to another good place, maybe a fence or something, and you tack up the next one and right underneath it you tack up the next one; always take the next one off the top of the pile, see."
I was just dropping off. Well?" It had taken Abraham a long while to summon up his courage to make what he felt would be to Licorice an unwelcome communication. He was rather dismayed to find it so badly received at the first step. "Do go on, thou weariest of old jackdaws! I'm half asleep." "I have spoken to the child, Licorice." "As if thou couldst not have said that half an hour ago!
To translate some little red flashes of light and read a secret in them was utterly beyond the comprehension of poor Pepsy. Here was a miracle indeed, compared with which the prophecies and spooky adventures of Licorice Stick were as nothing. And to win two hundred and fifty dollars by such a supernatural feat was staggering to her simple mind.
Experiments should be circumspectly undertaken, for licorice is one of the worst weeds in the world, and extremely difficult of eradication probably. Growing Lentils. Give information regarding the planting and raising of lentils. Can they be grown in the Sacramento valley in the vicinity of Colusa, and at a profit?
Bungel's little boy and he's all white because he's sick, and they can't take him to a great big place in the city so they can make him all well again and it just serves him right and I'm glad they haven't got any money. Everybody says he's going to die and Licorice Stick knows he's going to die in a rainstorm on a Friday, that's what he said."
"Then hear the truth, Bruno de Malpas; and if it well-nigh break an old man's heart to tell it, it is better that I should suffer and die for God's sake than that I should live for mine. On one point, Licorice deceived thee to the last. And until now, I, even I, have aided her in duping thee.
Call thy father and Delecresse, breakfast will be ready by the time they are." Breakfast was half over when Licorice inquired of her daughter whom she had seen at Bury Castle. "Oh! to speak to, only the Countess and her daughter, Damsel Margaret, and the other young damsels, Doucebelle, Eva, and Marie; and Levina, the Lady's dresser.
The use of lozenges in a routine way is not to be commended, and those containing morphia, cocaine, etc., should be employed only under the supervision of a medical practitioner. Sometimes, especially in the case of nervousness, a licorice pellet or a particle of gum arabic serves a good purpose in aiding in keeping the mouth moist.
I could hear The Seraph weeping as he brought up the rear. I lingered behind to offer him a suck of a piece of licorice I had. Then I saw that he had stopped and was hunched above the grating of a sewer. I could but think that his spirits had reached such an ebb that nothing save the contemplation of the foulest depths might salve his misery. But I was mistaken! His hand moved above the grating.
