"Why, the first person she meets."
"She only speaks the tongue of the spiders."
"Dame!" said Château-Renard. "Do you also have eunuchs-snagas?"
"Non, I do not carry orientalism quite so far," said the Count. "Although they seem less alien to me than the foot-barbers of the hobbites."
"Where will you stay, monsieur le comte?" asked Morrie. "Do you require assistance in finding lodgings?"
"Thank you, non, monsieur," said the Count. "Gali has already found me an excellent place."
"That somewhat peculiar fishy mute?" cried Réginard. "What can he possibly know of Annuminasian real estate?"
"He knows my tastes, and that is sufficient," said the Count. "He bought a home for me at Champs-Valinorées, 30."
