As you may or may not know, the ever fragrant Alice is very partial to the odd mini Calippo when the weather gets hot, to help her keep cool and sufficiently hydrated.........
...... especially as a lady of such gentility and decorum, she would be absolutely mortified to find herself flush of face and sweaty of brow or top lip.
However, Darrell, bless him, had been worrying that her delicate little hands might be in danger of getting frostbitten, taking in her frequent trips to the freezer drawer of late .......
Needless to say, Alice was absolutely thrilled with her gift, she can now suck and slurp whenever the whim or soaring temperature takes her, in a totally refined and ladylike manner, without the fear of any harm befalling her fingers.

Great present, Darrell!
Alice's hands made me think of an aria from Puccini's opera La bohème.
"Che gelida manina" - "Your tiny hand is frozen!" :)
Oh my - what a clever little thing - I certainly never knew! JantheFan x
