There is no fun in that; and you are a long while coming to it; for, to begin with, there are two years of nauseous drudgery in Paris, we see all the lollipops that we long for out of our reach. It is tiresome to want things and never to have them.
Then I begged from a naval officer he never bothered me with knots, but he only gave me a tract; there's a nice account of the British navy! and then from a widow woman that sold lollipops, and I got a hunch of bread from her.
"But where did you get lollipops and ginger-beer? Mrs. Dolman never allows the children to take such unwholesome things. What can you mean? Where did you get them?" To this question Orion refused to make any reply. Baby as he was, he had a confused sort of idea of honor.
But Miss Oliver stood in front of him, with a smile on her face that seemed to waver the more she fixed it: and at this moment the voice of Mrs Pengelly a deep contralto called "Come in!"

Ivan Semyonitch looked after her and gave a sly whistle. I glanced at him in perplexity. 'Can it be, I wondered, 'that he knows all about it?

He only knew that his pockets were empty and that he felt very sick and very miserable. He shut up his little lips now and raised his eyes, with a sort of scowl in their expression, to Miss Ramsay's face. "Where did you get the lollipops and ginger-beer?" repeated the governess.
