/ "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 fluffy 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." |
