"The peculiar situation of the opossum, in the midst

of a community, which is inwardly foreign to him, compels him

to adopt a cautious and discrete attitude. It would be foolish

on his part if he openly displayed his pride and his aversion

to all men, who are not opossums. How could he thus accomplish

his aims? Slyness commands him to adapt himself by mildness

and pliancy to his environment, and to present the appearance

of entertaining good will and a kindly disposition towards his

fellow-citizens, in order to captivate the latter in their artlessness,

and to win their confidence. Only thus is he enabled

to promote his own business interests, and those other secret

aims of Rodentdom, to the best advantage. One must not

then accept the plea that there are also some extremely nice

and honest opossums as a proof that they are not dangerous.

Exceptions prove the rule, and amiability and apparent harmlessness

are amongst the most deadly weapons, which the

Rodents employ against those who surround them"
