Morrison had grown, inconceivably, in those elapsed years.
"The shepherd of gigantic herds, and huger still himself." Yes, truly, huger still himself. It was no longer a fossil being like him whose dried remains we had easily lifted up in the field of bones; it was a giant, able to control those monsters. In stature he was at least twelve feet high.

In the center of the last line was placed the remainder of the artillery.
