the expectation

The already-emerged wingpiglet certainly seems to have comprehended the principle of there being an incipient additional, though something he said to Nicky implied that he thought the gestating one was sort of arranged standing upright with its legs poking down inside its mum's legs rather than all curled-up in the middle and still only the size of a small fruit. He may or may not have been convinced otherwise by the pictures in my old physiology textbook. This time the placenta is at the back so it may soon be possible for one to look upon the pokings of the feet and elbows of the other. I hope they'll like each other.
