(p. 53). Pig shaves and gets his hair cut after (before?) his operation. When Pig asks if he can go to Blue with Silk, Silk refuses. Pig's response? (p. 372) "Seen me h'ears." "That has nothing to do with it..." Perhaps what Pig means is that his ears, like the godling's, are distinctively pointed.
