G. Miki asked Shoeburn Ruffet:

Shoeburn, You look much taller in your picture than in your book. In your book perhaps you don't look short exactly, but you sound short. Can you explain?

Shoeburn Ruffet I'm short in knowledge but bigger in height. Everyone thinks they're taller than what they are by thinking they know things they don't. I was ten when I remember the events from Shoeburn and the Ill-Fitting Necklace, and sometimes I feel like I'm ten now. But I'm 91. I think I'll stay this age. I'm getting shorter.
