As for me, I roused with a start to find myself sugaring my ice cream. Charlie Sands was delayed that night. He came in about nine o'clock and found Tufik telling us about his home and his people and the shepherds on the hills about Damascus and the olive trees in sunlight.
Ohio is a great maple-sugar state, you know." "Oh!" said Eleanor. "No, I didn't know." "Sugaring time used to be the delight of my childish heart," went on Dora quaintly. "So many people came out to our farm then. It was quite like living in the village and having neighbors. And then I do love maple sugar. My father makes an excellent quality." "And he's sent you some now?"
The snow is over three feet on the level. Impossible to work in the bush. Gordon is preparing for sugaring, making spouts and buckets. I have to get a kettle to make potash and will buy one now, for it will serve for boiling sap. Feby 14 Rain, snow sinking fast. Feby 18 Went with the three boys to Toronto and bought potash kettles. They cost $12.
'Now you have ruined yourself there's nothing ahead for you but to go to the Admiralty and apply for a ship, he said, sugaring the unkindness with the remark that the country would be the gainer.

John took two sweet-cakes and broke each in fine pieces into a saucer, and after sugaring and eulogizing the dry messes, called for two small darky volunteers from the audience to come up on the platform and devour them.
The marks of sugaring remain on tree trunks for many years. I lately saw the faint remains on about sixty trees in Set Thorns plantation, in the Forest, which a friend and I painted on nearly forty years ago.
Aunt Trudy came home before she had finished and when she saw the unmade beds and the morning's disorder still untouched, she spoke her mind in no uncertain terms.

"Don't use that word, Sarah," reproved her aunt, sugaring a bowl of boiled rice for Shirley.
"Pear," they both said at once. "They were. They had cheeks like a " "Peach." "It was spring, and they were invited to a sugaring off party, and they saw the men tap the trees to make " "Maple sugar," cried Beth, who knew that, if she knew anything.
How we minded our steps over the rough path, in the semi-darkness of the old tin lantern, in carrying those precious pails of syrup to the house, where the final process of "sugaring off" was to be completed by Mother and Jane!
