Quotes

• Susan and Lobsang encounter a display of taxidermied animals, including some kittens:

The next gallery was full of stuffed animals. There’d been a vogue for it, a few centuries before. These weren’t the sad old hunting-trophy bears or geriatric tigers whose claws had faced a man armed with nothing more than five crossbows, twenty loaders, and a hundred beaters. Some of these animals were arranged in groups. Quite small groups, of quite small animals.

There were frogs, seated around a tiny dining table. There were dogs, dressed in hunting jackets, in pursuit of a fox wearing a cap with feathers in it. There was a monkey, playing a banjo.

“Oh, no, it’s an entire band,” said Susan in tones of horrified astonishment.

“And just look at the little kittens dancing . . .”

“Horrible!”

“I wonder what happened when the man who did this met my grandfather . . .”

“Would he have met your grandfather?”

“Oh yes,” said Susan. “Oh, yes. And my grandfather is rather fond of cats.”
