1) Four footed? Do you mean four footed? It dosen't have four feet - but then so few things do.
2) Is it alive? No.
3) Does it have feet? Not feet, no.
4) Is it Mythical? Sadly yes, because otherwise I would love to own one.
5) Is it made of leather? Untreated leather?
I say, what an absolutely spiffing unicorn talky that was! I did so enjoy it.
It was well nice.
Moving on...
Has anyone been tracking the accoutrements of office? I may still have the pawn stub for the sceptre, I think the crown is down the back of someone's couch, and I believe that some reprobate has made off with the cloak. Damn fine cloak it was, too, I remember last winter... Oh yes, I do remember. It's beside the Pink Cardboard Box of Maximum security in my winter woollies drawer, with my winter woolly drawers. As you were.
Right.

There's possibly a family resemblance to some of the Gordons I've known, but it's more like Marley. Even more like Marley, because Marley was dead, to begin with. Dead as a doornail. Scrooge knew he was dead? Of course he did. How could it be otherwise? Scrooge and he were partners for I don't know how many years. Scrooge was his sole executor, his sole administrator, his sole assign, his sole residuary legatee, his sole friend and sole mourner.
Marley was dead. Yes, very like Marley
Executive summary:
01 Is it alive like Gordon? No.
