"Goodness!" Marta said again. She hid a nervous yawn behind her hand. "George, get me a chair,
will you? I'd like to sit down." To Kauss, she said, "How did you find out all these things? You must have

on the video about it, but I never heard either of these creatures mentioned before. It seems to be a sort
of hobby of yours."
George pushed a kitchen chair out for her; she sat down with a sigh of relief.

gone. Then it snapped back into place.
He licked his lips very delicately.
"You see, I'm a Stroller myself. And, somehow, I'm feeling that I'd like to eat."
