Description
“How do you know she is a unicorn?” Molly demanded.
“And why were you afraid to let her touch you? I saw you.
You were afraid of her.”
“I doubt that I will ‘feel like talking for very long,” the
cat replied without rancor. “I would not waste time in
foolishness if I were you. As to your first question, no cat
out of its first fur can ever be deceived by appearances.
Unlike human beings, who enjoy them. As for your second
question-” Here he faltered, and suddenly became very
interested in washing; nor would he speak until he had
licked himself tluffy and then licked himself smooth again.
Even then he would not look at Molly, but examined his
claws.
“If she had touched me,” he said very softly, “I would
have been hers and not my own, not ever again.”
