“You mean you can read our minds?”
“Charles Wallace looked troubled. ‘I don’t think it’s that. It’s being able to understand a sort of language, like sometimes if I concentrate very hard I can understand the wind talking with the trees. You tell me, you see, sort of inad—inadvertently. That’s a good word, isn’t it? I got Mother to look it up in the dictionary for me this morning. I really must learn to read, except I’m afraid it will make it awfully hard for me in school next year if I already know things. I think it will be better if people go on thinking I’m not very bright. They won’t hate me quite so much.'”
—from A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle

Ha! Looks like a perfect name for a cat.
Yes, quite perfect. Certainly better than Twiddles or something… cats must really hate it when they get named Twiddles.
