He produced another Hadriacum cigar and handed it to Dark. Dark lit it and puffed the fragrant smoke with evident enjoyment. "As I say, the last time I remember seeing Goat was in the Icaria Desert, in a dome we had set up there," said Dark. "The next thing I remember is waking up in the midst of some sort of cave in a different part of Icaria, surrounded by Martians.
Should I live to be called, in my old age, Mashke the Short? I longed to measure my stature by Leah's, and here was my chance. I ran out into the street, my grandmother scolding me for going without a shawl, and I calling back to her to be sure and watch me. I skipped over the ice blocks like a goat, and offered my assistance to Leah the Short.
Of course the common goat is easily distinguished from the common sheep; but then there are species and varieties of both these animals so like in shape, size, colour, and habits, that the most accomplished naturalists are unable to pronounce which are goats and which are sheep!

How came he, in spite of such obvious disadvantages, to possess really exquisite manners and a distinguished air?
There is a plaintive tone about everything a goat has to say. In his cot on the porch J composed some verses one morning early I forget them except for two lines: "The plaintive note of a querulous goat Over my senses seems to float." Of course that was the difficulty creatures of one kind or another do not lie abed late.
I grieve to say that the goat was at once christened by Rocky Canyon as "The Reverend Billy," and the minister himself was Billy's "brother."
