Alas! this satisfaction did not endure long; on the steps of the front-door Petrea accidentally trod on the dangling lace of her boot, made a false step, and fell. A large paper case of confectionery suddenly proceeded from under the "court-preacher," and almond-wreaths, "brown sugar-candy, and iced fruits rolled in all directions.
Look here, her hand is still quite sticky." She opened the clenched hand, which was closed upon a scrap of sticky paper. "Ah, the poor persecuted child! She wanted to sweeten her existence with four ore worth of sugar-candy, and then into the water! A child has so much pleasure at home here! 'Forgive me, mother! she says, as though she had done something wrong.
That by the way; I am not dealing with a salt of iron but with a salt of silver. There it is, so many grains of a salt of silver, which looked like sugar-candy when I wetted it in the water, and, as you see now, here it is a perfectly colourless fluid. There, I have nearly done talking." "More applause, Tom," said the Vicar merrily. "Come, that's hardly fair," retorted Uncle Richard.
Rice, provisions, fish, and fruits are abundant and cheap; the sugar-cane also. The province of Paytan is the principal district for camphor of any in the world. Whole forests for miles everywhere meet the eye, and the produce from them is the finest that can be conceived, large and transparent as Chin-chew sugar-candy.
On the contrary, honest indifference minds the family honest indifference, mark, buys the beef and mutton, reckons the household linen eschews parties and all places of fashionable resort, attends to the children sees them educated, bled, blistered, et cetera, when necessary; and, what is still better, looks to their religion, hears them their catechism, brings them, in their clean bibs and tuckers, to church, and rewards that one who carries home most of the sermon with a large lump of sugar-candy."
Steep in one gallon of English gin or alcohol. Let the whole stand a fortnight, then filter and bottle. Ratafia. Blanch the kernels of uncooked peaches or apricots, and when you have two ounces pound them, and pour to them a quart of gin or alcohol and the thin yellow rind of two lemons. Sweeten with a pound of white sugar-candy, and leave the whole for two months; then filter and bottle for use.
As she said so, a little wavering cloud of doubt went across her forehead, eclipsing, for a moment, its light; then all was bright again. "What is it?" I asked. "Something for Aaron, I know." Sophie looked the least bit like a rather old child asking for sugar-candy; but she said, "Just you tie his cravat for him, there's a good sister; don't forget; that's all.
The police sergeant asked: "Are you the cook? Or the laundress? What a nice piece of sugar-candy you are!" He burst into a shrill, neighing laugh, and was about to begin his offensively affectionate tactics he lifted his open, tawny hand, and aimed his forefinger with a black border on a thick yellow finger-nail towards a place where he might jab, pinch, or tickle the barefoot, bare-armed girl.
The imports from Europe are woollens, tin, lead, &c. A very lucrative trade is carried on from Bombay to China, to which it exports cotton in very great quantity, sandal wood, &c., and receives in return sugar, sugar-candy, camphire, nankeens, &c. There is also considerable traffic between Bombay and Bengal, Ceylon, Pegu, and the Malay archipelago.
"You provoke me. You try my patience too much!" she was saying, in a tone of suppressed anger. "People are beginning to say that you have a serious affair with that sugar-candy chit. I want to know if that is true?" The man laughed, a lazy, pleasant, disarming laugh. She knew that laugh among a million, and her heart began to beat, but not with doubt or distrust.
