ŌĆØ ŌĆ£How delightful!ŌĆØ exclaimed Claribel, who was truly enraptured. ŌĆ£You are certainly a most clever sorcerer as well as a considerate compounder,ŌĆØ and she held out her hand for the box. ŌĆ£Ahem!ŌĆØ said the wise one; ŌĆ£a check, please.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Oh, yes; to be sure! How stupid of me to forget it,ŌĆØ she returned. He considerately retained the box in his own hand while she signed a check for a large amount of money, after which he allowed her to hold the box herself.

o oŌĆÖclock,ŌĆØ said he. All that night he practiced what is known as chemical sorcery; so that when Claribel Sudds came next day at two oŌĆÖclock he showed her a small box filled with compounds that closely resembled French bonbons. ŌĆ£This is a progressive age,ŌĆØ said the old man, ŌĆ£and I flatter myself your Uncle Daws keeps right along with the procession. Now, one of your old-fashioned sorcerers would have made you some nasty, bitter pills to swallow; but I have consulted your taste and convenience. Here are some magic bonbons. If you eat this one with the lavender color you can dance thereafter as lightly and gracefully as if you had been trained a lifetime. After you consume the pink confection you will sing like a nightingale. Eating the white one will enable you to become the finest elocutionist in the land. The chocolate piece will charm you into playing the piano better than Rubenstein, while after eating the lemon-yellow bonbon you can easily kick six feet above your head.  COME TO ME TO MORROW AT TWO O'CLOCK SAID HE ALL THAT NIGHT HE PRACTISED WHAT IS KNOWN AS CHEMICAL SORCERY SO THAT WHEN CLARA BELLE SUDDS CAME NEXT DAY AT TWO O'CLOCK HE SHOWED HER A SMALL BOX FILLED WITH COMPOUNDS THAT CLOSELY RESEMBLED FRENCH BONBONS THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE AGE SAID THE OLD MAN AND I FLATTER MYSELF YOUR UNCLE DAWES KEEPS RIGHT ALONG WITH THE PROCESSION NOW ONE OF YOUR OLD FASHIONED SORCERERS WOULD HAVE MADE YOU SOME NASTY BITTER PILLS TO SWALLOW BUT I HAVE CONSULTED YOUR TASTE AND CONVENIENCE HERE ARE SOME MAGIC BONBONS IF YOU EAT THIS ONE WITH THE LAVENDER COLOUR YOU CAN DANCE THEREAFTER AS LIGHTLY AND GRACEFULLY AS IF YOU HAD BEEN TRAINED A LIFETIME AFTER YOU CONSUME THE PINK CONFECTION YOU WILL SING LIKE A NIGHTINGALE EATING THE WHITE ONE WILL ENABLE YOU TO BECOME THE FINEST ELOCUTIONIST IN THE LAND THE CHOCOLATE PIECE WILL CHARM YOU INTO PLAYING THE PIANO BETTER THAN RUBINSTEIN WHILE AFTER EATING YOUR LEMON YELLOW BONBON YOU CAN EASILY KICK SIX FEET ABOVE YOUR HEAD
