Epigraph
‘Let us rise and revolt against those people, Lankin. Let us war with them and smite them utterly. It is to use against these, especially, that scorn and satire were invented’
‘And the animal you attack,’ says Lankin, ‘is provided with a hide to defend him—it is a common ordinance of nature’—M. A. Titmarsh
