1304 Subject to Change by Ron Goulart

"I could change, you see, and take things as all sorts of odd characters. If I was spotted and followed, I'd try to duck in an alley or a doorway and change again. The clothes are extra.

Once I copped an umbrella and changed into a big dog and went off with it in my mouth."
