– There seems to be a lot of chocolate around the house.
– Yes. Easter, you know. It's traditional. At this time of year.
–  Easter was weeks ago.
– Well, yes. I try my best, but it takes a while to get through it all. But I'll get there. Eventually.
– If you should need a hand –
– A hand?
– To help out with all the chocolate. You don't want it cluttering the house for ever.
– I'm sure it won't be for ever.
– It's already been three weeks or so. And you don't seem to have made much of a dent in it.
– I don't know. There was a lot more of it to start with. You should have seen it. I think I've actually done quite well. Sometimes there's a limit to how much chocolate you can face in one day.
– Precisely. That's why I thought it might be helpful if I were to lighten the load. It would make it seem you were on the home stretch. Practically on the finishing line.
– True. But then it would only make your house look untidy.
– I could find space. Tidy some junk away into the loft, that sort of thing.
– That's very considerate of you.
– What are friends for?
