"The Nanny," Cassie observed.

"The what?"

38 Iskoort faces were, like I said, not attractive. They were roughly
triangular with the point toward the top, which left no room for a pair
of eyes to fit. So their eyes, pink as a rabbit's, were stuck on short
stalks. They had mouths, but didn't use them to communicate. They pretty
much stayed shut, opening only every few minutes to suck in air and
reveal a fat, blue tongue and tiny, blue-tinged teeth.

Rachel said, "You know how you meet some people and right away, before
they even say anything, before you have any idea what they're like, you
don't like them? I mean, on sight you can't stand them? And it's not
that they're ugly or anything, it's just something about them that sets
you off?"

"No," Cassie said. "At least, I didn't know. Now I do."

grizzly bear and get rid of them, but Cassie said, "You know, if they're
serious about a guide . . ."

"Yeah, you're right," I said, but I wasn't enthusiastic. "Um, well, we
could use a guide. You know, to show us around. Show us where to stay."

the Iskoort demanded, to the sound of eager
whining.

"Well ... we don't exactly have any money," I said.
