Ah
,
here
's
the
nub
,
Louis
thought
but
did
not
look
around
;
after
examining
his
instructions
,
he
began
putting
the
carriage
lamps
on
the
Rolls
.
372
"
There
were
,
"
he
said
.
"
Better
than
a
hundred
,
I
'd
say
.
"
373
"
Daddy
,
why
do
n't
pets
live
as
long
as
people
?

"
Well
,
some
animals
do
live
about
as
long
,
"
he
said
,
"
and
some
live
much
longer
.
Elephants
live
a
very
long
time
,
and
there
are
some
sea
turtles
so
old
that
people
really
do
n't
know
how
old
they
are
...
or
maybe
they
do
,
and
they
just
ca
n't
believe
it
.
"

Ellie
dismissed
these
simply
enough
.
"
Elephants
and
sea
turtles
are
n't
pets
.
Pets
do
n't
live
very
long
at
all
.
Michael
Burns
says
that
every
year
a
dog
lives
,
it
's
like
nine
of
our
years
.
"
376
"
Seven
,
"
Louis
corrected
automatically
.
"
I
see
what
you
're
getting
at
,
honey
,
and
there
's
some
truth
to
it
.
A
dog
who
lives
to
be
twelve
is
an
old
dog
.

See
,
there
's
this
thing
called
metabolism
,
and
what
metabolism
seems
to
do
is
tell
time
.
Oh
,
it
does
other
stuff
too
--
some
people
can
eat
a
lot
and
stay
thin
because
of
their
metabolism
,
like
your
mother
.
Other
people
--
me
,
for
instance
--
just
ca
n't
eat
as
much
without
getting
fat
.
Our
metabolisms
are
different
,
that
's
all
.
But
what
metabolism
seems
to
do
most
of
all
is
to
serve
living
things
as
a
body
clock
.
Dogs
have
a
fairly
rapid
metabolism
.
The
metabolism
of
human
beings
is
much
slower
.
We
live
to
be
about
seventy-two
,
most
of
us
.
And
believe
me
,
seventy-two
years
is
a
very
long
time
.

Because
Ellie
looked
really
worried
,
he
hoped
he
sounded
more
sincere
than
he
actually
felt
.
He
was
thirty-five
,
and
it
seemed
to
him
that
those
years
had
passed
as
quickly
and
ephemerally
as
a
momentary
draft
under
a
door
.
"
Sea
turtles
,
now
,
have
an
even
slower
metabo
--
"

"
What
about
cats
?
"
Ellie
asked
and
looked
at
Church
again
.
380
"
Well
,
cats
live
as
long
as
dogs
,
"
he
said
,
"
mostly
,
anyway
.
"
This
was
a
lie
,
and
he
knew
it
.
Cats
lived
violent
lives
and
often
died
bloody
deaths
,
always
just
below
the
usual
range
of
human
sight
.
Here
was
Church
,
dozing
in
the
sun
(
or
appearing
to
)
,
Church
who
slept
peacefully
on
his
daughter
's
bed
every
night
,
Church
who
had
been
so
cute
as
a
kitten
,
all
tangled
up
in
a
ball
of
string
.
And
yet
Louis
had
seen
him
stalk
a
bird
with
a
broken
wing
,
his
green
eyes
sparkling
with
curiosity
and
--
yes
,
Louis
would
have
sworn
it
--
cold
delight
.
