We treasure spiders in our house, they are our insect police. Our daughters don't quite see it that way. When N found a large spider in her room, she got frightened and insisted on setting up a mattress and her duvets in the living room, to sleep downstairs for a few nights.
Castorp my whippet is not allowed in our upstairs bedrooms, but this was his chance to share a bed with one of his family. He settled proudly in the centre of the improvised bed and declared it his own. N could just about squeeze in next to him. She loved it, of course.
Castorp looked at us half defiantly, half accusingly. Can't you see that this is where I belong, snuggling up with my sister? he said. Why don't you let me do this always? Things are so easy, why don't you humans understand how simple it is to live well? Just stop being stuffy and difficult.
