“To Ian and Barbara they seemed no less than a set of ghastly twins. Their bone-white heads were bulbous, with an enlarged cranium tapering down to a small v-shaped chin covered with wisps of snow-white whiskers. These rose on either side of their jaws to end just above their tiny cat-like ears which were covered with a fibrous membrane.
