I have lived with all these races in their own countries and apart from a fatal monkey-like apprehensibility which passes for intelligence but, as a matter of fact, precludes it have found chiefly this to admire in them, that they are prolific and kind to their offspring. Small praise? Not altogether. The same may apply to cats and dogs, but it does not always apply to civilized races of men.
Stella, at work in the drawing-room, heard a sudden sharp exclamation from the verandah where Monck was seated before a table littered with Hindu literature, and looked up to see Tessa, with a monkey-like grin of mischief, smoking the cigarette which she had just snatched from between Monck's lips.
She was smiling, and at that moment, her eyes had not their monkey-like and ferocious expression, but they were pleading and tender, with all of their sweetest childlike candor. "You know," my host said to me in a low voice, "that the poor woman has fallen into senile imbecility, and that is the cause of her looks, which are so strange, considering the terrible sight she has seen.
I thought of England, the great mass of London, and the black, fuming, laborious Midlands and north-country. It seemed horrible. And yet, it was better than the padrone, this old, monkey-like cunning of fatality. It is better to go forward into error than to stay fixed inextricably in the past.

There was something monkey-like in the tempers of tante-gra'mère.
Round went the mare as though upon a pivot, and away, over rocks and stones, flying like a gazelle, with the monkey-like form of little Roder Sherrif leaning forward, and looking over his left shoulder as the elephant rushed after him. For a moment I thought he must be caught.
It was twenty minutes at least before the next car would pass. Quickly, almost monkey-like, he climbed up the pole, carrying with him the end of a wire which he had taken from the bag. Having thrown this over the feed wire, he slid quickly to the ground again.
Don't let's magnify our importance: we're not the whole universe. Our race is essentially a development from a particular type of monkey-like animal the Andropithecus of the Upper Uganda eocene.
This temple is known as Taiko-zan "Taiko" having been the title of Hideyoshi in the latter years of his life and in the grounds of the temple may be seen the well from which water was drawn to wash the newly born baby. The child grew up to be a youth of dimunitive stature, monkey-like face, extraordinary precocity, and boundless ambition.
If it could be identified, perhaps the presence was that of the hidden designer who handed up the false, ready-made pictures, and, for unknown purposes, made Alice exhibit them; but whatever it was, she suddenly found it monkey-like and terrifying. In a flutter she jumped up and went to another part of the room.
