"Most everything people wanted. Dry goods, groceries, sweet biscuits you'd call it cake and we had quite a trade in Sundaes." "What is a Sunday?" Mordaunt laughed. "A little delicacy you consume on the spot. I imagine it's sometimes an ice and sometimes a sweetmeat, or a cleverly mixed drink. Perhaps it's oftenest enjoyed on Sundays and holidays, but they don't spell it with a y."
Or proofs that nut sundaes are composed principally of ptomaine and outlying portions of the American workingman? It would be the making of us." Now it happened that in the course of her rambles through the city Betty had lost herself one morning in the slums. The experience had impressed itself on her mind with an extraordinary vividness.
He had eaten but two nut sundaes and a chocolate frappé since luncheon. It wasn't soda and candy that made him so fat. Some folks just were fat, and some folks were thin. That was all there was to it! Pudge himself would have a private income when he was twenty-one.
Something inside me was trying to pull me back to the sundaes for which I craved, but I resisted the impulse. Always with her divinely sympathetic encouragement, I gradually acquired a taste for alcohol. And suddenly, one evening, like a flash it came upon me that I had shaken off the cursed yoke that held me down: that I never wanted to see the inside of a drugstore again.

When I was ten I ate everything or not at all.
I suppose you girls think me foolish about Mabel, but I've no mother or sister, and you know yourselves what a dear Mabel is." "Forget it," advised Nora wisely. "We've had enough to harrow our young feelings to-day. Let's go and drown our sorrows in sundaes. I'll treat until my money gives out, and then the rest of you can take up the good work."
