There was no use in telling her that the fifth comfit weighed a quarter of an ounce, and made every sale into a loss to her pocket.

告诉她第五颗糖重四分之一盎司，这让她每卖一盎司都会亏本，有用。

Tea in bright green canisters, and comfits in tumblers-Miss Matty and I felt quite proud as we looked round us on the evening before the shop was to be opened.

茶叶装在亮绿色的罐子里，糖放在玻璃杯里——在店铺开业的前一天晚上，姐和我环顾四周，感到非常自豪。

I had expended my own small store in buying all manner of comfits and lozenges, in order to tempt the little people whom Miss Matty loved so much to come about her.

我已经花光了自己的积蓄，买了各种各样的蜜饯和含片糖，为的是吸引那些姐非常喜欢的家伙们来找她买东西。
