The eyes have itWhorl

The sharp-sighted Kevin M. writing: <If Pig is 22 feet tall, it's hard to imagine that one of Silk|Horn's eyes would fit into his eye sockets.> I think 22 feet is a little tall myself, but in defense of Matthew's figures, isn't one of the features of the godlings that they have characteristically small eyes? E.g., Horn says to the godling who picks him up: "Your eyes seem very small to me, but that's only because they are small in proportion to your face."
