Chapter C: Is a Centaur-King-Beaver

There is no record of a specimen being scored. Probably the last person to do so may have been Jason. The best authorities assume this, adducing as contributory evidence his later, passionate quest of the Golden Fleece. Ourselves we regard it as more likely that Chiron was never scored, Jason being held back by the natural delicacy of one _in statu pupillari_. In fact, Chiron was, almost certainly, a “local double-fault.”
