Packard made his own sandwich, found the salt, poured a tin cup of coffee. "The sugar's over there." She jerked her head toward a shelf on which, after some searching among a lot of empty and nearly empty cans, Packard found it.

"A man has a sense of duty for all that." "Well," rising with a dejected air, "if you're not coming, good-bye. It will be lovely paddling! Aunt's given me some lettuce sandwiches and two apple turnovers. One was for you, but I suppose I can eat them both. The sugar's leaked all round the edge lovely!"

"They're paid for it; it's their duties; just as it's my duty to sell Hubbles and Grease's sugar. It's not for me to say the sugar's bad, or the samples not equal to the last. My duty is to sell, and I sell; and it's their duty to get a verdict." "But the truth, Moulder !" said Kenneby. "Gammon!" said Moulder. "Begging your pardon, Mrs. Smiley, for making use of the expression.
"There's just exactly twenty-nine pounds with the bucket.

"Sugar!" ejaculated Janet, touching the solid black mass with her finger. "Call you that sugar?" "Why, yes, I call it sugar. Not the best, maybe, but it's better than it looks.
She carried Davy away, her oval girlish cheek pressed against his curly yellow head. As they went up the stairs Davy flung a tired arm about Anne's neck and gave her a warm hug and a sticky kiss. "You're awful nice, Anne. Milty Boulter wrote on his slate today and showed it to Jennie Sloane, "'Roses red and vi'lets blue, Sugar's sweet, and so are you"
They know that I've thought Grey Abbey dull, and have avoided it; and now that I've determined to get over the feeling, because I think it right to do so, they make it ten times more unbearable than ever, for my gratification!
