The confectioner of the town came out, and set up his booth there; and soon after came another confectioner, who hung a bell over his stand, as a sign or ornament, but it had no clapper, and it was tarred over to preserve it from the rain.
Andersen's Fairy Tales by Andersen, Hans Christian View in context
Or how, at the tender age when a confectioner seems to him a very prince whom all the world must envy--who breakfasts on macaroons, dines on meringues, sups on twelfth-cake, and fills up the intermediate hours with sugar-candy or peppermint--how is he to foresee the day of sad wisdom, when he will discern that the confectioner's calling is not socially influential, or favourable to a soaring ambition?
Brother Jacob by Eliot, George View in context
This guileless confectioner was not by any means sober, and had a black eye in the green stage of recovery, which was painted over.
Great Expectations by Dickens, Charles View in context
