She will advise me to do like the monkey; to seek the herb of which I feel so great a want, or at least to endeavor to substitute for it something analogous; to choose, try, and taste, in short, to follow the example of Marimonda!

"Herb, the only reason we don't kill you right away is because you will be punished more by being allowed to live and suffer," said Bob. "That was a fierce joke." "Oh, get out!" exclaimed Herb, in an injured tone. "You fellows don't know a clever joke when you hear it." "Likely enough we don't," admitted Joe.
