The monkey's face, distorted with passion, appeared at an upper window of the house, and a starred hole in the stained-glass window to the left of 'the front door showed the first steps of his upward path. "We've got to catch him," cried Sir Christopher. "Come along!" They pushed at the door, which was unlocked. "Yes. But consider the ethics of the case," said Jimmy.
It was so dark I couldn't see how many men were there, but I noticed Bill the quartermaster, and as I stood waiting to see what would happen, a little sailor by the name of Johnson, who had a face like a monkey's and legs set wide apart, so they never touched clear up to his waist, spoke out to a long, lean Yankee man who jostled me in the darkness. "Don't pull a pound on the bleeding line.
And the Sahiba fed thee well? Who shampooed thy legs? What of the weaknesses the belly and the neck, and the beating in the ears? 'Gone all gone. Dost thou not know? 'I know nothing, but that I have not seen thee in a monkey's age. Know what? 'Strange the knowledge did not reach out to thee, when all my thoughts were theeward. 'I cannot see the face, but the voice is like a gong.
"Boy, sir," said the man, gazing at the miserably limp little object before him. "Yes, boy: my son. When did he come on board?" "Dunno, sir. Didn't you bring him?" "I? Absurd! That will do." The man left the cabin, and seeing how ill the boy was, Captain Trevor lifted him up and laid him on a cushioned locker. "How came you here, sir? What monkey's trick is this?" cried the Captain angrily.
This subject of comparative anatomy includes a consideration of what is called homology, and perhaps a concrete example may be instructive both in illustration and as suggesting the course which nature adopts in constructing her machines. We speak of a monkey's arm and a bird's wing as homologous, although they are wonderfully different in appearance and adapted to different duties.
And this ape hath seen her, and said, 'I will start at a mouse, and make a coil, She has no more right to start at a mouse than to wear that fur on her bosom, and that velvet on her monkey's head. I am of the town, young man, and have known the mijauree all her life, and I mind when she was no more afeard of a mouse than she is of a man."
They were the mock masque, each resembling an ape, each wearing a fantastic dress that heightened the hideous absurdity of his monkey's visage, each riding upon an ass, or small pony, and each of them throwing shells upon the crowd by way of a largess.
Then I hummed as we went home to have lunch, or "tiffin," as they call it: "All lectures and no candy or fun Make Moro and Fil dull boys." Moro was always up to tricks. I noticed that he was whispering something to Filippa who was laughing. "Tell it out," demanded Filippa's mother. "The bad boy said the coconut, which we are trying to break, is a hairy monkey's head dried."
A deputation of the monkey's friends was accordingly despatched to present a humble petition to the surgeon's assistant, praying that he would be graciously pleased to lend his professional aid in saving the jaw, and perhaps the life, of one of the most diverting vagabonds in his Majesty's service.
And as to its being a monkey's head on a fish's tail, that's no concern. It would only make a better gull-trap." "And wait some two years before it arrived? Humph! If that's the only thing that will save me, I shall go to the dogs in spite of the " "Don't swear, Mr. Graves. It's a bad habit, though I am guilty of it myself," the bar-tender said, with vulgar familiarity.
