And he longed to go to the cabinet, and yet he was afraid; and then he longed again, and was less afraid; and at last, by continual thinking about it, he longed so violently that he was not afraid at all. And one night, when all the other children were asleep, and he could not sleep for thinking of lollipops, he crept away among the rocks, and got to the cabinet, and behold! it was open.
"Pleasant! you simple Simple, when did you ever hear of physic being pleasant, unless a man prescribe for himself? I suppose you'd be after lollipops for the yellow fever. Live and larn, boy, and thank Heaven that you've found somebody who loves you well enough to baste you when it's good for your health."
The Fan plant their own tobacco, which is described as a low, spreading plant, and despise the imported weed; they neither snuff nor chew. All manufacture their own pipe-bowls, and they are not ignorant of the use of Lyamba or Hashish. They care little for sugar, contrary to the rule of Africa in general, but they over-salt all their food; and they will suck the condiment as children do lollipops.
He came and with him the two ministers who often drank tea with my mother; both of whom, as they played some small part in the drama of my after-life, I may as well describe here. The elder was a little, sleek, silver-haired old man, with a blank, weak face, just like a white rabbit. He loved me, and I loved him too, for there were always lollipops in his pocket for me and Susan.
If you do, and think that she is going to let off you, or me, or any human being when we do wrong, because she is too tender-hearted to punish us, then you will find yourself very much mistaken, as many a man does every year and every day. But what did the strange fairy do when she saw all her lollipops eaten?
Many a time during the last two weeks had Master Jacky, all unknown to his parents, made his way to old Moggy's hut attracted thereto by the splendid "lollipops" with which the subtle old creature beguiled him, and also by the extraordinary amount of affection she lavished upon him.
We have not a single shop in the whole handful of houses excepting the 'tabac et timbres' establishment where jalap and lollipops are sold likewise and one hovel, the owner of which calls himself, on its outside, 'Cordonnier': yet there is this 'Hotel' and an auberge or two serving to house travellers who are dismissed from the Convent at times inconvenient for reaching Grenoble; or so I suppose.
She looked up, smiling faintly at his enthusiastic tone. "Are you fond of sweets? I always keep them for Cesare; he is a perfect baby over any kind of lollipops." "R-r-really? Well, you must get him s-some more to-morrow and give me these to take with me. No, let me p-p-put the toffee in my pocket; it will console me for all the lost joys of life.
"Now, see here, Glo," continued the parent, rather sternly, "don't let me hear any more about 'aspirations'-which are always adulterated with terra alba-nor 'aims'-which will give you the gripes like anything. You just take this two shilling-piece and invest every penny of it in lollipops!"
It has been my unhappy lot to learn that she prefers lollipops to lovers." "You tried her?" asks Mrs. Chichester. "Well, I believe I did do a good deal in the chocolate-cream business," says Mr. Gower mildly. "And she preferred the creams?" "Oh! much, much!" says Gower. "So artless of her," says Mrs. Bethune, with a shrug. "I do love the nineteenth-century child!"
