on the way to school and on the way back we always passed the sweet-shop. no we didn't, we never passed it. we always stopped. we lingered outside its rather small window gazing in at the big glass jars full of bull's-eyes and old fashioned humbugs and strawberry bonbons and glacier mints and acid drops and pear drops and lemon drops and all the rest of them.
