When Pig\nasks if he can go to Blue with Silk, Silk refuses. Pig's response? (p. 372)\n\n \"Seen me h'ears.\"\n \"That has nothing to do with it...\"\n\nPerhaps what Pig means is that his ears, like the godling's, are\ndistinctively pointed.\n\n    Dave Lebling\n    aka vizcacha\n\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
