It was a long, long way; and they often got very tired especially Gub-Gub. But when he cried they gave him milk out of the cocoanuts which he was very fond of. They always had plenty to eat and drink; because Chee-Chee and Polynesia knew all the different kinds of fruits and vegetables that grow in the jungle, and where to find them like dates and figs and ground-nuts and ginger and yams.
He found hundreds and thousands of monkeys sick gorillas, orangoutangs, chimpanzees, dog-faced baboons, marmosettes, gray monkeys, red ones all kinds. And many had died. The first thing he did was to separate the sick ones from the well ones. Then he got Chee-Chee and his cousin to build him a little house of grass.
I remember seeing the sails, which we were now trying to roll up upon the deck, torn out of our hands by the wind and go overboard like a penny balloon very nearly carrying Chee-Chee with them. And I have a dim recollection of Polynesia screeching somewhere for one of us to go downstairs and close the port-holes.
They used to make their lemonade out of the juice of wild oranges, sweetened with honey which they got from the bees' nests in hollow trees. No matter what it was they asked for, Chee-Chee and Polynesia always seemed to be able to get it for them or something like it. They even got the Doctor some tobacco one day, when he had finished what he had brought with him and wanted to smoke.
Murgatroyd said, "Chee-chee? Chee?" Calhoun sighed. "That's right, Murgatroyd! Here we go again!" The Interstellar Medical Service was just about the only remaining galactic organization that every one of the hundreds of inhabited planets respected. So when their service broke down in Star Sector Twelve, it created a very dangerous situation.
But I console myself with imagining that the pretty Chee-chee spinster who comes every morning from Raneemoody Gully in a green tonjon, and makes romantic eyes at me through the silk curtains, missed the Boston gentleman with the gray moustache, and was lonesome. My Parsee neighbor is quite as fat, but by no means as saucy, as ever.
Woodchucks stood erect and piped dolefully for an hour "Chee-chee!" with jaws absurdly stretched to emit so thin a note rusty-looking, seedy fellows, also a smaller striped species which stood erect and cheeped and whistled like a Douglas squirrel. I saw three or four species of birds.
Then he saw Murgatroyd sniffing at the chest now holding the container of live scavengers. Open, it had had a faint but utterly disgusting odor. Locked up, Calhoun could not smell it. But Murgatroyd could. He sniffed. He said impatiently to Calhoun: "Chee! Chee-chee!" Calhoun stared. His lips tightened.
Chee-Chee for it was he frowned at me suspiciously from the top of the gate, as though he thought I was going to laugh at him like the other boys and girls. Then he dropped into the garden on the inside and immediately started taking off his clothes. He tore the straw hat in two and threw it down into the road.
And the monkeys were very shocked and said to one another, "These Men are like thoughtless young ones stupid and easily amused. Sh! It is a prison he means." So then they asked Chee-Chee what rare animal it could be that they should give the Doctor one the White Men had not seen before. And the Major of the Marmosettes asked, "Have they an iguana over there?"
