Honey-sweet

There was a freshness in the air as of a wind that had blown over honey-sweet fields of clover.

Beauty is naught to him, because there are lips more honey-sweet; and wealth is naught, because others can weigh him down with heavier shekels; and fame is naught, because there have been greater men than he.

Cheerfully, and in my honey-sweetest voice I asked: “Can you give me a dime for two nickels?”

She added that if I continued to bother Olga she would take steps I would not particularly enjoy. At her honey-sweetest of course, but “My husband and I do not care to have our daughter involved in friendships of this nature.”

And just because she was feeling a little snippy, she said in the honey-sweetest tone possible, “Want me to come help pack your bags?”
