But when the League encounteredthe Hokas, furry creatures strongly resembling the teddy-bears of Earth, theLeague's agent, Alexander Jones, could have been excused for wishing he had asimpler assignment than making sense out of the Hokas--such assingle-handedly stopping an interstellar war. Not that the fuzzy aliens were unfriendly. In fact, they loved everythingabout humans, and adopted various Terran cultures wholesale and in every littledetail--but with a bit of confusion about the differences between fact andfiction. So if the Hokas suddenly started acting out the parts in a rip-roaring,shoot-em-up western, or brought to life the London of Sherlock Holmes, completewith a pipe-puffing, deerstalker-wearing Hoka, or suddenly decided to fly theJolly Roger and lead a life of adventure and piracy on the high seas, matey,that was only to be expected.
