P. Martin's arms jerked, ever so slightly. "No . . . no," he stuttered. "I'm here. P. Martin, he-he-re." He glanced up, and there she was, her black Records Book propped on her stomach, checking off his name. Just like James, she had a stripe running from her eyes to the back of her ear, only hers was black. Her nose was slightly curved and as long and thin as a straw.
"P. Martin," she said. "Curious thing -- that P."
P. Martin feared everybody would be staring at him. He shuttered and scratched his arm. "Ye ye-sss," he said. "P. Martin."
