"YES!" Eponine clapped her hands together in sheer pleasure, as she followed Gabriel across the floor.
"Oh, Monsieur, I will eat anything, truly. But chocolate - mmmm! My Pa, he used to buy a bit for Azelma and I for Christmas when we were little, just a taste. I loved it. And all of those years - when we moved to Paris, there was no chocolate for me, and I used to drag Azelma right across the city so we could sit outside the chocolate shop and smell it and beg the customers, just for a little bit, but we never got it. Just an earful and the threat of the bobbies, and then didn't we have to run, Sir? But it was worth it." She was grinning from ear to ear. That was quite a happy memory - made especially sweet by this strange, grumpy man promising her chocolate.
