" She handed me one of the finished mendiants. A fat black cherry made for the nose; a candied lemon slice for the mouth. She had made all her chocolates into little faces. Features added in gold leaf; almonds, raisins, poppy seeds. All of the chocolates different, all of them marked with her signature:
Love me. Feed me. Free me-
And all of the chocolates were smiling. "

― Joanne Harris , The Strawberry Thief (Chocolat, #4)
