Matilda giggles. "You have a best friend? What's her name? Is she a bad guy too?"

Jenny, meanwhile, opens the box of chocolates. Some people acting in the role of parent might try to tell Matilda she shouldn't be rude. Jenny doesn't believe in discouraging harmless curiosity, or in expecting six-year-olds to act like adults. She also knows that Matilda, like Jenny herself, has a pretty good sense of how far she can go with any given person.
