The elephant, being born to it, is easy-going, confident, tolerant. He would have been a more humane king. A race descended from elephants would have had to build on a large scale. Imagine a crowd of huge, wrinkled, slow-moving elephant-men getting into a vast elephant omnibus. And would they have ever tried airships? The elephant is stupid when it comes to learning how to use tools.
And, in the same breath, "Boy, another stoup," he cried. Crispin eyed the gem carelessly. "Twenty Caroluses," he muttered. "Rat me, sir, that nose of yours proclaims you a jew, without more. Say twenty-five, and I'll cast." With a tolerant smile, and the shrug of a man to whom twenty-five or a hundred are of like account, Crispin consented. They threw; Crispin passed and won.
