It soon became evident that the monkey could not be reached unless by surprise. Hence Torres found it necessary to employ cunning in dealing with the mischievous animal. To stop, to hide himself behind some tree trunk, to disappear under a bush, might induce the guariba to pull up and retrace his steps, and there was nothing else for Torres to try.
I guess people call you a funny little monkey, don't they?" "No'm, they don't," replied Prudy, drawing away a little, "they think I'm as cunning as I can be." "O, my! I know a little girl that thinks pretty well of herself. Ah, here comes Dedy Roberts; does my little love know Dedy?" "Yes'm, I went to see her once; she lives in a dreadful ragged house!"
Many arguments gravely given in support of evolution, reveal a great poverty of facts and logic. As this same picture is widely copied in evolution text books, they must have failed to get the picture of any other infant performing a like feat. Just how this affords any convincing proof that man is a monkey, we leave the reader to figure out.
"Let's see, that means to fetch the roasted chestnuts out of the fire. This must apply to you, Master Rodd." "To me, uncle?" cried the boy, aghast. "Yes; I don't know anybody else whom Captain Chubb looks upon as a monkey." "Nay-y-y! I mean that there French Count." "Stop!" cried the doctor sternly. "Mind what you are saying, Captain Chubb. Count Des Saix is my friend a gentleman, a nobleman."
So saying, he went to a little cupboard alongside the companion ladder, and produced therefrom a water monkey, two tin pannikins, and a bottle of rum, all of which he placed on the cabin table. "There, senor, help yourself freely; the little Josefa and all that she contains is yours!"
Wango had a great habit of running away from his master's home, and, more than once, Bunny Brown and his sister Sue had taken back the sailor's pet. This they now did again, and as they knocked at the side door, Miss Winkler opened it. "Here's your monkey back," said Bunny, after the first greetings. "Huh! 'Tisn't my monkey!" declared Miss Winkler. "It's Jed's!
In most of the American monkeys the thumb bends in the same direction as the fingers, and in none is it so perfectly opposed to the fingers as our thumbs are; and all these circumstances show that the hand of the monkey is, both structurally and functionally, a very different and very inferior organ to that of man, since it is not applied to similar purposes, nor is it capable of being so applied.
Billy was casting frequent nervous glances over toward the spot where the operator was still grinding lustily away, seeking to get a good picture of the actors in one of their off-periods, when they were taking things easy after a recent "engagement." When, by accident, Monkey Stallings chanced to step in the way, Billy hastily moved his position.
As we did not move, their monkey owners became bolder, and advanced towards the ends of the boughs, playing all sorts of gambols, such as hanging by their tails, and swinging backwards and forwards. Many of them had young ones on their backs, who, in spite of the leaps made by their parents, clung fast, even when they were swinging by their tails with their heads downwards.
In Mona's eyes she was absolutely beautiful, and her long tail nearly black at the top and dwindling to a peculiar greyish hue at the bottom was another source of admiration to him. The little white-nosed monkey was a born flirt; graceful, petulant and coquettish to a degree, and she knew perfectly well from the very first that Mona admired her.
