"You couldn't splash about much.... You shave at that, I suppose." "I don't. One shaves. There's a better apartment he could have got for the same price, but manlike he didn't find it out till too late. What's this bedroom?... Yes, there's the bed." They stepped back into the sitting-room, and Carlisle, strolling aimlessly about, became a little silent and distrait.
Hazily I could see scores of the bristly, manlike fish when I opened my eyes and glanced through the walls. It was not one monster then, but many that had brought us to their lair. Abruptly, as though a signal had been given, they all streamed back toward the mouth of the cavern.... My eyesight dimmed.... The hammers pulsed louder.... A veil descended over my senses and I knew no more....
Both von Schoenvorts and I noticed that at least two of the higher, manlike types took to the trees quite as nimbly as the apes, while others that more nearly approached man in carriage and appearance sought safety upon the ground with the gorillas.
The man, manlike, felt no real danger, because nothing was said after everything had been said for all time at the hut on Vadrome Mountain. He had not realised the true situation, because of late her voice, like his, had been even and her hand cool and steady.
Speculative eyes of the sort that seem to search horizons and gather knowledge there, but shrink from the faces of women; a head of brown hair, short cut but untidy, an athletic, manlike form to which, bizarrely enough, a slight stoop, the stoop of a student, seemed to give distinction, and hands slender and shapely as those of an Eastern such were the characteristics of Morris Monk, or at least those of them that the observer was apt to notice.

Very manlike, truly; and perfectly in accordance with a reasonable being who likes to live and love and laugh according to the rule of society a puppet whose wires society pulls, and he dances or dies as society pleases.
