Peggy: (while Bob speaks, Peggy relaxes her arm and shows that all the fingers of her left hand are outstretched but separated)
Bob: that’s what they are, they’re foxes.
Peggy: (pointing now at something else, up high in the two-story room, she points with two fingers of her right hand, extended and joined, which is shown clearly as she rotates and brings her hand down into a side view.)
