I also wish to state that a suggestion made to me by Lieutenant Ybarra regarding possible instrumental detection of sapient mentation is being credited to him in my own report, with the recommendation that it be given important priority by the Bureau of Research and Development.
There was a brief flicker of red while he was listing his publication that paper, entirely the work of one of his students, which he had published under his own name. He had forgotten about that, but his conscience hadn't. "Dr. Mallin," the oldest of the three judges, who sat in the middle, began, "what, in your professional opinion, is the difference between sapient and nonsapient mentation?"
'And pray why not, my sapient sister? said Elizabeth; 'what objection has your high mightiness? 'My dear Lizzie, said Helen, 'I wish you had heard all that I have heard, at Dykelands, about Mechanics' Institutes. 'My dear Helen, said Elizabeth, 'I wish you would learn that Dykelands is no Delphos to me.
"Just catch on to the cut of those Dutch trousers, will you?" indicating by a nod of his sapient head the tight-fitting, creaseless garments in which were encased the martial lower limbs visible below the long, voluminous skirts of their double-breasted frock-coats.
"Thou hast forgotten to name thine own quality," cried Pippo, who was too much used to buffoonery not to relish the whim of Maso, and who, with Neapolitan fickleness, forgot his anger the instant he had given it vent. "I will represent the sapient public, and, being well disposed to be duped, the whole job is complete.
"I think, when you hear this, that you and Gerd will both want to come out and see these little people. If you can, bring somebody who's a qualified psychologist, somebody capable of evaluating the Fuzzies' mentation. Jack wasn't kidding about early Paleolithic. If they're not sapient, they only miss it by about one atomic diameter." Jimenez looked almost as startled as the Fuzzies had.

I have a structural differential at my seat; if somebody will bring it to me " "Well, never mind now, Dr. Mallin. When you're off the stand and the discussion begins you can show what you mean.
What could be easier for him than to go, as Insie had said to him at least a score of times, and mind his own business, and shake off the dust or the mud of his feet at such strangers? But, alas! he had tried it, and could shake nothing, except his sad and sapient head. How deplorably was he altered from the Pet that used to be!
Above this glowing mass of colour some three or four feathers of a pheasant’s tail are stuck, apparently with no ulterior purpose than that of ornament; but beside the bunch of ribbands there is also fixed a piece of wolf’s skin, to give strength to the jaded animal, for, remarks the sapient Pliny, “a wolf’s skin attached to a horse’s neck will render him proof against all weariness.” Personally, we should think a little more consideration and some elementary knowledge of farriery would have been of more service to the ill-used beasts round Naples than the excellent Pliny’s highly original receipt.
"Thou hast in truth learnt oratory, most sapient daughter," he said, bitterly; "thou pleadest well and flowingly, yet thou hast said not for whom thou bearest this marvellous interest it can scarce be for a traitor? Methinks the enemies of Edward should be even such unto his children."
