vaguely heard the soft sibilants of two other voices, but the
words were unclear. "Bud oou hab long lide fur and zhe sad
oou hab dark short fur."

"Mmmmm?" Pal mumbled, more asleep than awake.

"Ooooh," the same voice said, "Oou smell 'onderfull.
Modher musd made a misdake. Ooou are da one. 1 yesd knaw

A soft fur blanket drifted to her side. Ah, thought Pat, a ro-
bot maid dropping off a blanket. They must have realized the
room wasn 't ready for occupancy. She put her arm out and
discovered that it wasn't a blanket, but a large pillow. Oh,
well, she thought, that's okay; it's nice and warm. She turned
on her side and snuggled closer to it.

"Zhe likes me!" the voice said. A fur strip draped across
her side and back, and another across her tegs; a pillow with

tassels. "Modher waz 7.0 worried oou would nod like uz."

The fur pillow was very soft and silky, and Pat found her-
self rubbing against it to feet it sliding across her skin. She
had always liked the feel of fur, but these sensations were
wonderfully erotic. She sleepily ran her hand gently across
the pillow, enjoying the texture.

She felt a soft puff of air ruffle the hair by her ear. Another
fur pillow pressed against her back. Part of it draped over
her side.

She puzzled on it for a moment, then decided that Room
Service must have sent up two pillows to make up for not
sending a blanket. Maybe they were out of them. Two fur
ropes twined around her legs. She felt yet another rope touch
her foot. She shifted slightly and a pillow draped itself across
her feet.

Well, with three warm and furry pillows on her bed, she
didn 't have to worry about getting cold tonight. She snuggled
close to them and drifted into a pleasant, and erotic, dream.

Pat stretched and stared at the wall in front of her. For the
first time in days, she felt rested. She blinked slowly, thinking
about her dream.
