Scented and frizzled in this manner, with a well-greased tope or robe, the Arab lady's toilet is complete, her head is then a little larger than the largest sized English mop, and her perfume is something between the aroma of a perfumer's shop and the monkey-house at the Zoological Gardens.
Would Miss Carmina like to visit the monkey-house? Ovid's cousin, remembering Ovid's promise, looked towards the end of the walk. He was not returning to her he was not even in sight. Carmina resigned herself to circumstances, with a little air of pique which was duly registered in Miss Minerva's memory. Arriving at the monkey-house, Teresa appeared in a new character.
The prestidigitateur, who moved about the table like a schoolboy in a monkey-house, drew the cork from a bottle of Roederer it was astonishing that fireworks did not dart out of it and good-humor was restored. It reigned noisily until the end of the repast, when the effect was spoiled by that fool of a Gustave.

My mater won't have even a servant in the place that wouldn't look amiss in a monkey-house.
