A large clearing may have eight to twelve of these Pygmy camps around it, with perhaps two thousand inmates. Their dwellings are of the shape of an oval cut lengthwise, and are built in a rude circle, the residence of the chief occupying the centre. The doors are two or three feet high.
Captain Guy Burrows says that a Pygmy will eat twice as much as would suffice a full-grown man, and that one of them will devour a whole stalk of bananas at a meal, with other food.
The Ape-Man, in other words, was a heavy, squat, powerful, bestial-looking animal; of small stature, but above the pygmy standard; erect in posture, but with clear traces of the proneness of his ancestor; far removed from the highest ape in brainpower, but almost equally far removed from the lowest savage that is known to us.
The Greek bowed his head in silence, as if conscious of his short-comings; the Egyptian's eyes flashed, and, with an amazingly low bend of his supple spine, he announced that, more than three hours since, he had discovered a most abominable caricature in clay, representing Caesar as a soldier in a horrible pygmy form. "And the perpetrator," snarled Caracalla, listening with a scowl for the reply.
A whisper spoke to my intelligence. "Man conquered by me, fall down before me. Beg my forbearance. Beg life of me and take the gift!" "No," my thought answered Its. "You die, Man." "All men die." "Not as they die who are mine." "I am not yours. You kill me, as a wild beast might. But I am not yours; not dying nor dead am I yours." "Would you not live, pygmy?" "Not as your pensioner."
Here he sought Lord George Murray, gave information and was given it in turn, ate, drank, and then turned back through the December night to the Prince. He rode and the huge winter stars seemed to watch him with at once a glittering intentness and a disdain of his pygmy being. Once he looked up to them with a gesture of his head. "Are we so far apart and so different?" he asked of Orion.
Don't it make her mad, though? Come to think of it, she's only two years or so younger than I am. But she is so small and pretty, she always seems like a dolly to me," and the Prince looked down from his lofty height of five feet five as if Rose was indeed a pygmy beside him. "That dolly has got a real good little heart, and a bright mind of her own, you'd better believe.
A cough. A man coughs. In explanation the Ute philosopher would tell us that an u-nú-pĭts a pygmy spirit of evil had entered the poor man's stomach, and he would charge the invalid with having whistled at night; for in their philosophy it is taught that if a man whistles at night, when the pygmy spirits are abroad, one is sure to go through the open door into the stomach, and the evidence of this disaster is found in the cough which the u-nú-pĭts causes.
"I think that a good idea," agreed the Doctor. "Rogers described these Oroid men as being some six inches shorter than himself, on the average." "This one might be a pygmy, for all we know," said the Very Young Man. "We might chance it that he's of normal size," said the Doctor, smiling. "I think we should make ourselves smaller."
"Pardon me, Miss Perkins," interposed Stuyvesant at this juncture, his nerves fairly twitching under the strain. "Let us get at the matters on which you wish to speak to me. Malate, Cochero!" he called to the pygmy Filipino on the box.
