Somewhere in the near neighborhood of "ridicule," I believe.

Oh, well done! Extra karma for the book placement.
One of my favorites!

I will grant you that Fornum & Mason appear to offer a splendid variety of chocolate delights, and Maxwell & Kennedy have quite the rep for their handmade goodies, but Nekokami has selected Chococo, Green & Blacks, Rapunzel, and other organic and fair trade confectionaries only. (The llamas, however, may have chosen other goodies, and I wouldn't begrudge helping them carry the loot.)
