Slartibartfast was quite startled--he couldn't remember anybody hugging him; planet building was not a profession in which people were prone to hug. Once he got over his surprise, however, he found he didn't mind--she was such an enthusiastic young lady, and reminded him of some of the younger engineers who were so keen about their work--she was as excited about her music as they were about their various tasks.
"I, well, I do hope I can live up to your expectations," he said, finding himself smiling at her. He certainly couldn't promise her he wouldn't look a complete twit, but he could try. "Though I, I'm afraid I don't know, you know, don't know many songs. I shall have to research Earthman music."
