Candy Trouble

Candy Trouble I was greatly impressed by the sight, which was certainly wild enough Her mistress rose to her feet and approached the major.,The next day was spent in sight seeing but visions of neglected poultry and cows haunted the anxious housewife, and notwithstanding the expostulations of Moses they started home that evening.,The gate was thrust open and there entered Rear-Admiral Sir William Lawrence, a round-faced, bullet-headed seaman of the old type. He was dressed in a bottle-green coat, metal buttons, red waistcoat, knee breeches and stockings, shoes and large buckles; and being totally bald he wore a wig, perched at the back of which was a little round hat.,The note which the major handed over was curt to the verge of rudeness. It merely stated that the writer had gone to London for a couple of days on business, and would be back as soon as possible. No explanation of what the business might be was given. Maurice did not wonder than Jen was annoyed at receiving such a missive from one whom he regarded in the light of a son; but in handing it back to the major he excused the writer.,"I admire your venture," said the Admiral. "I believe if I could muster two or three[Pg 10] thousand pounds I should be disposed to purchase a prize or two from the French, Spanish, or Yankees and follow your lead. Good interest on money is hard to get. Your ships do well for you, sir."，"Was I humming?" she asked genially. "I didn't know I was making any noise at all. I'm awfully sorry to have gotten on your nerves. I was thinking about some exercises, and I must have thought out loud."，"It's under the stove. See it?"，"Oh! that is really shocking," says Violet, with a curl of her very short upper lip.“Don’t stan’ starin’ there like Betty’s chiner doll, go git another of my pies.”

She understood that Aunt Adeline wouldn't be interested in it until I had time to tell her all about it. Anyway, Aunt will be going over to Springfield on a pilgrimage to see Mr. Henderson's sister next week. She doesn't know it yet; but I do.,"Maurice wanted to marry her.","But I have to do with him," says Mona, distinctly.,“Thank you Mr. Newman, you’re a prince.”,"Mona, do you think Elise is right? she is so very positive; are you sure heliotrope is the correct shade to go with this?" Or—,Some days are like tin nutmeg-graters that everybody uses to grate you against, and this was one for me. For an hour I sat and grated my own self against Alfred's letter that had come in the morning. I realised that I would just have to come to some sort of decision about what I was going to do, for he wrote that he was coming in a week or two.,Later he invited many, many children from the town as well as from his own school, and all the teachers.,Outside Etwald found Dido waiting for him. He looked at her significantly.,"I sha'n't want to see them, perhaps," says Mona, apologetically, "but how shall I avoid it?",She shivered. "And I'm very fond of them, only," she added as she followed him to the door, "I never know whether they want to eat me up or caress me.","And do you see this here object that I'm holdin' up afore your dotin' father's eyes?",When Julia had rested, they followed the track before them, and in a short time arrived at a village, where they obtained security and refreshment..
