What he prized far more highly than feminine blandishments was the new comradeship with his own sex. Instinctively he sought them, as a sick dog seeks grass, unconsciously feeling the need of them in his mental and moral development. Besides, the attitude of the women reminded him of that of the women painters in his younger days. He had no intention of playing the pet monkey again.
Yes, on this occasion there could be no escape! And no more there would have been if the puma had had greater patience; but in his excitement he moved a little too soon. The monkey, who was stooping to drink, heard a rustling, and turning caught the gleam of two yellow, murderous eyes.
"Yes, sir." "What's a tongue for?" "To talk with, and " "That's enough! I thought you would say so. You are an ignorant whelp." "Isn't the tongue to talk with?" "No!" roared the passenger. "What is it for, then?" asked Donald, who did not know whether to be alarmed or amused at the manner of his violent companion. "It's to keep still with, you canting little monkey!
Joseph Foxley espied her presently talking to the parrot and tending the monkey. This was more than the frivolous Mr. Joseph could stand. He took his brother and made a tour of the house accordingly, discovering in turn as I have said the drawing-room, the kitchen, the court-yard, the garden and orchard and lastly the bar! That proved the most comfortable, most enticing room of all.
Only a few like ourselves can see the lines of scaffolding, but everybody who thinks about it, and loves it, makes it more real for others to see, too. Daddy's probably watching it too from his window. 'I wonder if Jinny ever sees it, Monkey asked herself. But Jimbo knew. 'She's in it, he decided. 'She's always in places like that; that's where she lives.
This was repeated a number of times during the first two or three trials, and it occurred less frequently later in the series. Since nothing unusual had happened outside of the experiment room, the suggested explanation of this sudden change in attitude and behavior is that the monkey resented and blamed on the experimenter the difficulty which he was having in obtaining food.

"Wouldn't it be funny if my Monkey was really alive, as your dog is, and could ride him whenever he wanted to?" "It would be funny," said Dick. "Very funny!" Pretty soon the boys came to a little brook that ran through the meadow. They stopped on the edge, and looked down into the water in which tiny fishes were swimming.

Owing to the depression of his shoulders for he had no more withers than an ass the way that he jerked down his head, and the suddenness of the stop, a monkey, although he had been holding on with his teeth, must have been unseated.
