Explore "Doctor Dolittle in the Moon" by Hugh Lofting on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the Doctor noticed how the lilies shrank away from the glow of the / matches he became greatly interested in this curious unexpected effect / that the extra light had had on them.
"Why, Stubbins," he whispered, "they could not have felt the heat. We / were too far away. If it is the glare that made them draw back it must / be that they have some organs so sensitive to light that quite possibly / _they can see_! I must find out about this."
