Dick reached out to grab the fur, but it quickly slipped through his fingers and ended up on top of his feet, lying in a lump on the floor. He looked at the fur for a moment, not wanting to bend over and pick it up. Instead he spread it out over the floor with only his feet before laying on top of it, belly down, arms folded under his chin. And there he lay, looking at the wall, not saying anything, or making much noise to begin with.
