Question

Name the colour and functions of any three of the magic bonbons.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A Boston woman named Claribel Sudds consults Dr. Daws, a wise old chemist who dabbles in magic. Claribel wants to go on the stage, but has no talent. For a hefty fee, Daws prepares a small selection of magic candies that will endow the eater with specific talents:

a lavender confection, which enables light and graceful dancing

a pink one, for singing "like a nightingale"

a white one, for supreme elocution

a chocolate one, for virtuoso performance at the piano Claribel takes possession of her treasure in a little box - but foolishly forgets it on the counter of a dry goods store. The box is inadvertently swept up among other purchases, by a twelve-year-old girl named Bessie Bostwick.

and a lemon-yellow one, for high kicking.
