       7. About George

      George was Harry’s best friend. They’d been best friends almost from the time they’d come out of their mothers’ baskets.

      George didn’t live with his mother. He’d run off and left her, as most centis do, as soon as he could run, and he called Harry a sissyfeelers for wanting to stick with his mother.

      George lived and hunted alone, and because he was still very young and couldn’t always catch anything, he often felt hungry.

      Then he saw the sense of having a mother.

      He would come creeping along to Belinda’s nest-tunnel and lie there, waving his front feelers feebly, looking really pathetic, until she would say, “Oh, all right then, George, you’d better come and have a bite of lizard with us. But stop teasing Harry for still living with his mama!”
