Quote:
- Which reminds me that I never got around to explaining the kangaroo thing before I died. It was like this: my wife overheard me mumbling to myself, "wilwa, what are you?" and spontaneously said, "A kangaroo". (Pitch collapses laughing.) Explanation: "The name sounds like something that moves in leaps." Unfortunately, I didn't take notes of the rest of Onomatopoetic Downer Zoology According to Mrs Pitch, but as far as I remember, Fea was a sea-horse, Lottie a coach-horse, Eönwë an earthworm, Nog a dog, Inzil a dragon and Form a polar bear (!). Make of it what you will (no offense to anybody intended, of course). Quote:
And while we're distributing medals, I nominate Nienna for the Golden Arrow for Outstanding Hunting, Lottie for the Grammy for Most Entertaining Known Wolf Performance, and our other Wolves for the Carcharoth Award for Wolf-on-Wolfing Above and Beyond the Call of Duty (*cough*Nog/Glirdan, Nog/Eönwë*cough*).
