"... and the trace of a very considerable serpent, five to six feet long. 'I am almost certain that was a malpolon monspessulanus. I had one as a pet when I was a boy.'
'Was it a satisfactory pet?'
'There was a degree of recognition, and a certain tolerance: nothing more.'"

Gee, that pretty much sums up Boris's attitude too.

Serpents can snuggle? I never knew!

I just loved that sentence. It so completely answered the question of whether the pet was satisfactory--far more than a simple yes or no would've done.

It's great. It reminds me of the attitude my birds usually seem to have. :-)
