I am in the middle of reading Five Children and It (E. Nesbit) to my smallies and we came across a sentence that I have not been able to decipher; Google drew a blank too. Anyone have any idea what this is?:
"...or to be able to lick Simpkins Minor thoroughly when he went back to school."
What is a Simpkins Minor?! I told the children it was "an English thing", and now they all want me to bring back a Simpkins Minor to lick when I come home from the Litfest (they think it involves sugar, but I'm not as confident that it has anything to do with edibles).
