When I go home I shall hang it up near the door over the bookcase. Ada gave me a silk purse which she had worked for me herself. Aunt Dora gave me a diary, but I can't use it because I prefer to write upon loose sheets. Grandfather and Grandmother at B. sent me a great piece of marzipan, splendid. Ada thinks it lovely; she didn't know marzipan before. August 9th.
So it was from the burnt almonds and the two sticks of marzipan. Hella thinks it was the marzipan, for they were large ones at 20 hellers each because nuts lie heavy on the stomach. She had a pain already while I was still there, but she wouldn't say anything about it because it was her fault that I'd brought her the sweets.
The bride is cutting the cake. The bridegroom has lent her his sword, or his fountain-pen, whatever is the emblem of his trade he is a stockbroker and as she cuts, we buzz round her, hoping for one of the marzipan pieces. I wish to leave now, before I am sorry, but my friend tells me that it is not etiquette to leave until the bride and bridegroom have gone.
They were frankly fancy chocolates, creams with sugared tops, filled with nuts, marzipan, or jellies, inseparable from a drawing-room, and therefore ten times more acceptable and delightful. He got not a single letter from home, not from any one. Not that he minded much, at that time. Home, parents any softness of any description would have seemed unreal.
At first she was a little hurt, but then she saw that we had important business so she said: All right as long as it is not anything made of marzipan. That nearly gave us both away. For when we were in the street Father asked me: Why did Hella say that about marzipan? So I said quickly: Since she's been ill she has a perfect loathing for sweets. Thank goodness Father didn't notice anything.
The attendant coming to take his order, gazed at his pale, furious face, and said mechanically: "What can I get you, please?" Looking up, Fiorsen saw Daphne Wing outside, gazing at the cakes in the window. She came in. "Oh, here you are! I should like iced coffee and walnut cake, and some of those marzipan sweets oh, and some whipped cream with my cake. Do you mind?"
She fell silent, casting her eyes down. Her profile at that moment, against the light, was very pure and soft in line. And he said: "I suppose you hate me, little Daphne? You ought to hate me." Daphne Wing looked up; her round, blue-grey eyes passed over him much as they had been passing over the marzipan. "No; I don't hate you now. Of course, if I had any love left for you, I should.
Some of the eggs are made of chocolate or marzipan or sugar, and some are real eggs coloured blue or red or brown, or even sometimes with pictures on them." "We had two dear little baskets with dollies in them, and a big Easter Hare made of gingerbread, as well as the eggs this year," said Barbara.
"Mary" they called all the girls Mary, the name of the shop invited that familiarity brought them tea and a dish piled high with cakes, frothy meringues, pastry sandwiches with custard in the middle, highly ornamental sugary pieces of marzipan, all kinds of delicate confectionery. After the fare of the trenches these were dreams of delight, but not very satisfying. The dish was cleared.
After supper yesterday I asked: But what's become of the second marzipan sandwich, I'm sure there were two on the tree. And I looked at her steadily till she got quite red. And after a time I said: the big basket of vegetables is gone too. Then she said. Yes, I took it, I don't need to ask your permission. As for the sandwich, Oswald took that.
