The Golden Monkey

>>>>>>>>>>>>"I could never figure out why until I realised - you 
never, ever hear him speak."

I never realized that!  I did notice another thing, though:  you 
never learn his name.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Just a little thing...PP did a discussion at Readerville where he 
mentioned something about the golden monkey.

"The golden monkey doesn't have a name because every time I tried to 
think of one, he snarled and frightened me. What's more he hardly 
speaks either."

He does speak once in The Amber Spyglass to Mrs. Coulter...but I 
don't remember where off the top of my head.

The URL for the discussion is:

in case anyone's interested. I hope the link works. He talks about 
his follow up to HDM, The Book of Dust, and answers lots of 
questions. (Sorry if this has alread been mentioned...)
