??A whole Edam cheese.??
??Why? You can get them in the supermarkets at home.??
Kevin was despondent at the derision which his sir was showing.
Joey seemed to pick up on Kevin??s mood, and gently took the large and heavy cheese from him. ??Sorry, Pup. I??m sure he??ll enjoy it. I suppose I ought to get something for Mum and our Simon.??
??Oh yeah, I??ll get him something, too.??
??You don??t have to, you know.??
??I want to. I had a great time the other day at the bonfire with him.??
??Yeah, he??s a good kid.??
As they walked back down Prinsengracht, Kevin noticed there was no queue outside the old spice warehouse, part of which had formed the hiding place for the Frank family during the last war.
??Come on, we might as well go in now while it??s not too busy,?? Joey said, steering Kevin through the door.
