They consisted, in addition to the tortoise-shell kitten fore-mentioned, of a musical snuff-box, a toy model of a ship, a small Noah's ark, a half-consumed slice of bread and butter, an apple with a good-sized bite taken out of one side, a thick lump of toffee, and a darkish-brown substance like gingerbread, which close association in the bundle, combined with pressure, had welded together in one almost indistinguishable mass.
However, the post office was capable of supplying almost anything likely to be needed in the depths of the country; you could purchase there bread, cakes, groceries, hob-nailed boots, paper, ink, and most delectable toffee! The relief of the country quiet was unlike anything which Erica had known before. There was, indeed, at first a good deal of anxiety about her father.
"I told him I shouldn't be allowed a solitary chocolate drop at The Priory, and how I should be simply yearning even for treacle toffee. He laughed, and said I should have a good time before I got there, at any rate, so we went into town, and he bought me absolutely anything I wanted. Have another caramel, Winnie? It's no use keeping them.
Jim asked after the toy engine, and Bobbie pressed on his acceptance a moist, greasy package of toffee that she had made herself. Charmed by this attention, the engine-driver consented to consider her request that some day he would take Peter for a ride on the engine. "Stand back, Mates," cried the engine-driver, suddenly, "and horf she goes." And sure enough, off the train went.
They were silent a little after this, each thinking things tinged to sobriety by the effect of the inner conflict going on between the clam broth and the toffee.

That's news, I'm sure. May we ask what you bought?" This he did not like. But he had to answer. "Christmas-tree candles, and toffee." "For the little children? Well you've done well for once!

Norris tried to comfort himself by observing that Notts couldn't bowl for toffee. 'Last week, too, said Baker, 'he made a hundred and forty-six not out against Malvern for the Gentlemen of Warwickshire. They couldn't get him out, he concluded with unction.
She looked up, smiling faintly at his enthusiastic tone. "Are you fond of sweets? I always keep them for Cesare; he is a perfect baby over any kind of lollipops." "R-r-really? Well, you must get him s-some more to-morrow and give me these to take with me. No, let me p-p-put the toffee in my pocket; it will console me for all the lost joys of life.
He looked at the beastly holly that had been left over from the sauce and was stuck up over the pictures. It now appeared hollow and disgusting, though it had got quite a lot of berries, and some of it was the varied kind green and white. The figs and dates and toffee were set out in the doll's dinner service. The very sight of it all made Oswald blush sickly.
