"What has the doctor done?" "Why, I'll tell you, the liquorice is all gone, and he won't order any more." "Well, that is because you have eaten it all."

Let the patient take twice a-day, for eight days, a teaspoonful of well-boiled liquorice and a tablespoonful of hot water. This treatment will usually abate the sensitiveness in a week or so, and bring the patient within reach of other remedies. For example, it will, after a week or so, even in very trying cases, be possible to foment the feet and legs once a day, and rub them with warm olive oil.
This produces the disease; and the livers of the geese, when they are killed, very often weigh three or four pounds, while the animals themselves are mere skeletons." "And the French eat those liver complaints?" interrupted the widow, making a face. "Yes, they do, and are as fond of it as my boy Tom is of liquorice.

"And you say it is a small thing; it is the more easily granted, M. de Rosny." "But the King goes and comes at his pleasure," I replied warily.
What useless and mischievous affectations they are! Let there be none of them, no bells, no toys. A little twig covered with its own leaves and fruit, a poppy-head, in which the seeds can be heard rattling, a stick of liquorice he can suck and chew, these will amuse a child quite as well as the splendid baubles, and will not disadvantage him by accustoming him to luxury from his very birth.

"No, no," said Freeman, "a hanecdote that's what I'm fondest of suthin' short an' sweet, as the little boy said to the stick o' liquorice."
Their faces were pale like porcelain with the enamelling effect of the liquid powder which they use. Their black shiny hair, like liquorice, was arranged in fantastic volutes, which were adorned with silver bell-like ornaments and paper flowers.
