He is a man to see that their personalities quite comprehensible, differing from ours only at their extremities where he observes the distinction by bringing their legs and arms out of pantaloons and shirtsleeves with paws and claws instead feet and hands. He makes a muskrat's ear quite as eloquent as unearthly tresses of an undine, rather badly jointed wooden doll is as truly alive to him as the most grizzled of grey old men who have obviously been alive for centuries...
