|passage=Persia tells IRIS _she_ is named for something special: the iris of
the eye. "I thought I was named for a flower," IRIS says, disappointed. "An
iris _is_ a flower, of course," Persia says, smiling, "but it's this other,
too. Our secret. 'The iris of the eye'." "The eye?" Persia snaps her fingers
in IRIS's eyes. The gesture is so rude and unexpected, IRIS will remember it
all her life. After this disclosure, IRIS doesn't know whether she likes her
name any more.}}
