Fine chocolate chases clouds away

There's a newish little place on the main street of our shopping district which specializes in many things chocolate. They have an array of hot chocolate choices, ranging from their basic "house chocolate" through all sorts of variations. On a gray and drizzly late morning, it's a delight to pick up an eight ounce to go, with a complimentary mint atop the lid.
Managed to line up all the book group picks, used and new. It's hard to abandon Wharton, however, and her keen skewering of various characters. One would not liked to have gotten in her crosshairs...can you say merciless?
