“Yes,” James said. “Some of them chased me once.”

“Do you remember the Hands?” Roger asked.

“Yes,” Thelma said. “Some of them picked me up once. When I was just a kitten.”

“What did they do—the Hands?” Harriet asked.

“They squeezed me. It hurt. And the Hands person was shouting—‘Wings! Wings! It has wings!’—that’s what it kept shouting in its silly voice. And squeezing me.”

“What did you do?”

“I bit it,” Thelma said, with modest pride. “I bit it, and it dropped me, and I ran back to Mother, under the dumpster. I didn’t know how to fly yet.”

“I saw one today,” said Harriet.

“What? A Hands? A Shoes?” said Thelma.

“A human bean?” said James.

“A human being?” Roger said.

“Yes,” said Harriet. “It saw me, too.”
