But , if she did not know , she would not surely behave worse than a British judge and jury ; and no more should parents and teachers either . So she just said nothing at all about the matter , not even when Tom came next day with the rest for sweet things . He was horribly afraid of coming : but he was still more afraid of staying away , lest any one should suspect him . He was dreadfully afraid , too , lest there should be no sweets -- as was to be expected , he having eaten them all -- and lest then the fairy should inquire who had taken them . But , behold ! she pulled out just as many as ever , which astonished Tom , and frightened him still more . And , when the fairy looked him full in the face , he shook from head to foot : however she gave him his share like the rest , and he thought within himself that she could not have found him out . But , when he put the sweets into his mouth , he hated the taste of them ; and they made him so sick that he had to get away as fast as he could ; and terribly sick he was , and very cross and unhappy , all the week after . Then , when next week came , he had his share again ; and again the fairy looked him full in the face ; but more sadly than she had ever looked . And he could not bear the sweets : but took them again in spite of himself . And when Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby came , he wanted to be cuddled like the rest ; but she said very seriously : `` I should like to cuddle you ; but I can not , you are so horny and prickly . '' And Tom looked at himself : and he was all over prickles , just like a sea-egg . Which was quite natural ; for you must know and believe that people 's souls make their bodies just as a snail makes its shell -LRB- I am not joking , my little man ; I am in serious , solemn earnest -RRB- . And therefore , when Tom 's soul grew all prickly with naughty tempers , his body could not help growing prickly , too , so that nobody would cuddle him , or play with him , or even like to look at him . What could Tom do now but go away and hide in a corner and cry ? For nobody would play with him , and he knew full well why . And he was so miserable all that week that when the ugly fairy came and looked at him once more full in the face , more seriously and sadly than ever , he could stand it no longer , and thrust the sweetmeats away , saying , `` No , I do n't want any : I ca n't bear them now , '' and then burst out crying , poor little man , and told Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid every word as it happened . He was horribly frightened when he had done so ; for he expected her to punish him very severely . But , instead , she only took him up and kissed him , which was not quite pleasant , for her chin was very bristly indeed ; but he was so lonely-hearted , he thought that rough kissing was better than none . `` I will forgive you , little man , '' she said .
`` I always forgive every one the moment they tell me the truth XXXXX their own accord . ''
So about after if in like of than that with
