Clementine also received a gift from her cousin. It was a large jar of Tunisian-style candies, made by binding cashews, Moroccan nuts, and crushed dates with honey and sugar to form short sticks, with an exceptionally sweet and delicious taste.

She was utterly unable to resist the temptation of the candies, and as soon as she smelled their sweet aroma, her eyes lit up, and she forgot all about being reserved, reaching into the jar to pinch off a piece of candy and popping it into her mouth.

"Mmm—"

The crispness of the nuts mixed with the sweetness of the honey made the little girl so happy that she squinted her eyes in delight.

"Thank you so much for the gift, my dearest cousin!" She wanted to curtsy to Joseph again, but found her fingers were sticky with sugar and she couldn't pick up her skirt, so after a moment's thought, she simply grabbed a piece of candy and stuffed it into her cousin's mouth.
