Last year we discovered an egg some weeks afterwards; luckily it was a glass one filled with sweeties; for if it had been of chocolate, we could not have eaten it, after it had lain on the damp mould, where the snails and worms would have crawled over it.
The confessed criminals looked wretched enough, Ronald wrote, when forsaken by their virtuous playmates, who stepped jauntily on board, holding their sailor hats on their heads and carrying nice little luncheon baskets; so miserably unhappy, indeed, did they seem that certain sympathetic and ill-balanced persons sprang to their relief, providing them with sandwiches, sweeties, and pennies.
Archie and Charlie, evidently great cronies, were pacing up and down, shoulder to shoulder, whistling "Bonnie Dundee"; Mac was reading in a corner, with his book close to his near-sighted eyes; Dandy was arranging his hair before the oval glass in the hat-stand; Geordie and Will investigating the internal economy of the moon-faced clock; and Jamie lay kicking up his heels on the mat at the foot of the stairs, bent on demanding his sweeties the instant Rose appeared.
Jock looked forward to the pleasure which he should have in spending a whole day with the peerless Lizzie Gimmerton stuffing her pockets with sweeties and gingerbread, and paying innumerable compliments to her beauty the while; and poor Nelly apprehended nothing less than the loss of every particle of that influence which she had some reason for supposing she now possessed over him.
That jar was a mine of riches to the child, and those sweeties her pet confection. In fact, she had readily taken the large contract of keeping the jar from overflowing, and was the principal consumer of "toast cookies." Smiling helplessly, Joyce assented. "Yes, toast-cookies it shall be." She gave the child a little push and nodded towards her manager to urge haste. He galloped ahead.
Ah, well, I notice that grown-up that people older than me don't seem to care for sweeties before their dinner. I wonder why. And there's a magnetic compass I picked up on George the Fourth Bridge. There's a kind of pleasure in finding the north, don't you think? And fancy this being here! I thought I'd lost it long ago. It's a wee garnet I found on the beach at Elie.
Circumstances were against the girl who had practically been turned out of her own room while the party was having a glorious time eating salad, macaroons, ice cream, and various other indigestible combinations of "sweeties." Cora Rathmore had escaped. How? Her mates did not stop to investigate that mystery. If Cora could have explained she did not set about it.
"They's ma dinners noo, tae use yir word, minister they's ma dinners, an' they hunger nae mair wha tak's them saxteen or seventeen coorses, ilka ane o' them; nane o' yir bit lunches wi' napkins an' flowers and finger bowls like ye hae the noo, no' worth the bit grace ye say ower them they's nane o' yir teas, tastin' an' sniffin', wi' sweeties an' sic like they's meat, sir, strong meat for strong men, an' the bane's in the baith o' them like."
Dove, this is to say that I'm going away to the Palace Beautiful, and that I'll always keep my word about the sweeties. "Your true little friend, DAISY." Then Daisy fastened her letter, and directed it to Mr.
"You won't see me in the shop any more. I'm going away," said Sabina, utterly forgetful of her promise to Mrs. Vane. "Are you?" said Dick. "Oh, then, won't there be any more sweeties in your windows? Or will some one else sell them?" "Some one else, I expect. That's all that children care for!" cried Sabina, springing to her feet. "He's got no heart!"
