- Quoting Niven once again, StM recites:
- "Speaker-to-Animals, similarly surrounded, sprawled like a great orange
- hill across the grass. Two women were scratching at the fur behind his
- ears....

- A kzin is a fearsome beast, yes? But who can fear a kzin who is having
- his ears scratched? It put Louis's guests at their ease, and it put
- the kzin at ease too. Anything above the level of a field mouse likes
- having its ears scratched."
