 | | The trouble was, the Hereward was essentially a pleasure craft, designed to carry only its captain and a few very close friends in style and comfort, so the four outlaws and their eight-foot-tall reptiloid companion were finding things a bit cramped, not to mention distinctly claustrophobic. |
 | | Saturday (the reptiloid had had some trouble with the human concept of naming: “On Shard we all know who we are.”) was eight feet tall, his huge, massively muscled frame covered in dull bottle-green scales, and he had heavy back legs and a long spiked tail. |
 | | On the whole, the reptiloid was easy enough to get along with, but Lewis had decided that if Saturday asked one more time “Are we there yet?” he was going to shoot the reptiloid in the head, on general principle. |
