Greetings Mr. Stone:

Yes, indeed, but remember that was the "Moral, By The Cat." And cats
are notoriously obtuse about some things. (Insert Cheshire-cat grin
here.)

And in service to the cat, I must add the line right after your
penultimate selection:

"You may not see your ears, but they will be there."

Cordially,
Benjamin van der Wel
