This morning "Sweetie Bob," the errand-boy, had arrived crying, with tidings that the shop and house were shut up; nobody answered his knock; Mother Butterfly had "cut" in the night, gone off, he believed, with the circus, and Miss Lydia too; and there was two-and- ninepence owing to him, besides his- his- his character!
No scream would Joey have screamed, nor tear shed, if he'd helped himself from the box; but 'twas a case when a big heart saved a little body, for Joey had put another creature before himself and the first sweetie out of the gift had went to his pup.
"But the other one! I certainly am afraid of it. It's bad luck, sure!" Zureda, however, liked to handle both of them. Sometimes he preferred one, sometimes the other, according to the state of his nerves. When his mood was cheerful, he liked "Sweetie" best, because there wasn't much work about running her.
She became perfectly awake, turned her face to Lichonin with wide open, uncomprehending, and at the same time submissive eyes, and slightly touched his right hand, lying on her waist, with her fingers. "Don't get angry, my sweetie. I'll never exchange you for another. Here's my word of honour, honest to God! My word of honour, that I never will!
"Sweetie wouldn't produce, or couldn't, rather. He hasn't got his hands on much of the stuff yet. Enright coughed up the expense money, or most of it. I made John borrow some, but I needed that myself." "Well, damn little got out here, and Lacy pumped the most of that out of me.
And while these two were occupied, the Piper swaggered toward the Policeman, his pipes and implements striking and jangling together. "I want my money," he bellowed. "I don't owe you anything!" retorted the Policeman. All this gave Jane the opportunity she wished. She advanced upon Gwendolyn. "Come, sweetie," she wheedled.
"Horner came down, and Sweetie Bob, that's the errand-boy, and there was a bother about the money, for Bob wasn't to leave anything without being paid, and while they were jawing about that, Merry laid hold of me and said, 'Come and look for the aralia. They got to shouting and singing, and I don't think they saw what was doing.
Even when the seizure of fever came, and the sweat gathered on her lips, and her eyes went wild, she gritted her teeth and just clung to him. She had spunk admirable, if perhaps destructive. "Love yuh," Frank kept saying. "Love yuh, Sweetie..." Two days later, before the frigid dawn, they saw the last of Mitch Storey and his slender, beautiful wife with her challenging brown eyes.
And at that minute he experienced in his own person how heavy it is to see in the morning, with one's own eyes, the results of folly committed the night before. "Are you awake, sweetie?" asked Liubka kindly. She got up from the bed, walked up to the divan, sat down at Lichonin's feet, and cautiously patted his blanket-covered leg.
When there was a knock at the door he did not turn. "Come in," he said. But it was not the waiter. It was Edith Boyd. He saw her through the mirror, and so addressed her. "Hello, sweetie," he said. Then he turned. "You oughtn't to come here, Edith. I've told you about that." "I had to see you, Lou." "Well, take a good look, then," he said.
