Thrale, who has no card-parties at her house, to give sweet-meats, and such good things, in an evening, as are not commonly given, and she would find company enough come to her; for every body loves to have things which please the palate put in their way, without trouble or preparation. Such was his attention to the minutiae of life and manners. Mr.
If I go to the play-ground to have a game of ball, the fellows all say Get out of the way, little chap, or we shall knock you into a cocked hat. I don't think I've grown a bit these two years. My brother Hal has got his first long-tailed coat already; I am really afraid I never shall have anything but a jacket. I go to bed early, and have left off eating candy, and sweet-meats.
And having honoured him of Dasarha's race that deserveth honour from every one, they placed at the disposal of that illustrious person their houses, abounding in wealth. And feeding all the Brahmanas with sweet-meats and himself taking his meals with them, Kesava passed the night happily there."

The Guru strode over to Hunsa, and holding out his thin skinny palm commanded, "Jamadar, from you a rupee; and to-morrow I will put upon the shrine of Kali cocoanuts and sweet-meats and marigolds as peace offerings."
Just as every cadet or officer when in a fort regularly drinks porter, plays cards, and discusses the rewards given for taking part in the expeditions, so in the Cossack villages he regularly drinks chikhir with his hosts, treats the girls to sweet-meats and honey, dangles after the Cossack women, and falls in love, and occasionally marries there.
What she really cared for was a young fool who could dance with her in this silly new-fangled gliding style, and send her flowers and sweet-meats, and make love to her glibly and a petticoated fool who would envy her fine feathers, and, at last, a knavish fool who would barter his title for her money.
They dance between their machines five minutes, and then, demurely, they drop back to their work. You see them sitting quietly in long white rows, folding up sweet-meats with flushed and glowing cheeks. Is this sentiment or is it cold businesslike efficiency? The more sentiment there is in it, I think, the more efficient it is and the better it works. "Business is not business."
