Hackworth hardly recognized him at first, because he was dressed in a much 
more traditional outfit than usual: baggy indigo pajamas, sandals, and a black 
leather skullcap that concealed about seventy-five percent of his knotlike 
skull. Also, he had begun to grow his whiskers out. Most alarmingly, he had a 
scabbard affixed to his belt, and the scabbard had a sword in it.
