Beyond these I don't think I know of a single visitor. But here we are at the Megatherium." Mr. Jacob Mason's house stood in its own grounds in a quiet suburban road. It was not a very large house, but it straggled about comfortably in the manner of detached houses built in the suburbs at a time when space was less valuable than now, and it consisted of two floors only.
Here and there may be seen, projecting from the cliffs, huge skeletons of the toxodon, megatherium, mylodon, and other monsters which once in countless numbers inhabited the plains of South America. Now the river expands into lake-like proportions, its surface dotted with numerous low and wooded islands.
"Inside the Museum all was previously in order, and inside the entrance door from the gangway was a huge picture of the Megatherium, under which the Queen must pass to the Museum, and at that place I was to receive her Majesty. So I dusted my outer garments and ran to the Senate House, and I was just in time to see the Prince take his degree and join in the acclamations.
Don't your clients call you their lawyer? Does n't your baker, does n't your butcher, speak of the families he supplies as his families?" "To be sure, yes, of course they do; but I had a notion that a man had as many doctors as he had organs to be doctored." "Well, there is some truth in that; but did you think the old-fashioned family doctor was extinct, a fossil like the megatherium?"
And so there got to be fewer and fewer, and, whenever you found a fairy and had a wish, you used to wish for a Megatherium, and eat twice as much as you wanted, because it might be weeks before you got another wish. 'And did YOU get wet? Robert inquired. The Sand-fairy shuddered. 'Only once, it said; 'the end of the twelfth hair of my top left whisker I feel the place still in damp weather.
'One thinks of him now as one thinks of the megatherium, said one of the young men. 'From first to last mankind made three million big guns and a hundred thousand complicated great ships for no other purpose but war. 'Were there no sane men in those days, asked the young man, 'to stand against that idolatry? 'In a state of despair, said Edith Haydon.

Do not your geologists and naturalists speak of the remains of animals, which are no longer to be found among living things?" "Certainly, sir; the mastodon the megatherium, iguanodon; and the plesiosaurus " "And do you not also find unequivocal evidences of animal matter incorporated with rocks?" "This fact must be admitted, too."
In this I find you a valuable ally, and have cited from the Reports of your Museum of Comparative Zoology in support of my own claims for space. I was glad to hear from Mr. Bates that the Megatherium had not gone to the bottom, but had been rescued, and that it was probably ere this in your Museum at Cambridge. I trust it may be so.
And whereas a church should always be a veritable 'sermon in stone' expressive of the various generations that have wrought their best on it, he limits himself to the beginning of things! I wonder what Leveson was in the beginning of things? Possibly an embryo Megatherium!" Broadly smiling, he walked to the gate communicating with his own garden, opened it, and passed through.
