"How old?"
"Two."
"She's a darling! What's her name?"
"Name's Annie."
"Named after you?"
"Sure!"
"You wouldn't mind if I gave her a peppermint to suck?"
"Would you mind some candy, Annie?"
"Candy!" shrieked the child.
Joe dove into his bulging pocket and produced a good hard white one.
Annie snatched it up and sucked joyously.
