The Speech of Monkeys

[Sidenote:
PUCK'S
VOICE
AND
ACTIONS]
A
little
later
I
adjusted
my
apparatus
for
another
trial,
and
this
time
I
hung
a
small
mirror
just
above
the
mouth
of
the
horn.
Then
retiring
again
from
the
room
I
left
him
to
examine
his
new
surroundings,
and
he
soon
discovered
the
new
monkey
in
the
glass
and
began
to
caress
and
chatter
to
it.
After
a
while
I
started
the
phonograph
again
by
means
of
the
string,
and
when
the
horn
began
to
deliver
its
Simian
oration
it
appeared
to
disconcert
and
perplex
Puck.
He
would
look
at
the
image
in
the
glass,
then
he
would
look
into
the
horn;
he
would
retire
with
a
feeble
grunt
and
a
kind
of
inquisitive
grin,
showing
his
little
white
teeth,
and
acting
as
though
in
doubt
whether
to
regard
the
affair
as
a
joke,
or
to
treat
it
as
a
grim
and
scientific
fact.
His
voice
and
actions
were
exactly
like
those
of
a
child,
declaring
in
words
that
he
was
not
afraid,
but
betraying
fear
in
every
act,
and
finally
blending
his
feelings
into
a
genuine
cry.
Puck
did
not
cry,
but
the
evidence
of
fear
made
the
grin
on
his
face
rather
ghostly.
Again
he
would
approach
the
mirror,
then
listen
to
the
sounds
which
came
from
the
horn,
and
it
appeared
from
his
conduct
that
there
was
a
conflict
somewhere.
It
was
evident
that
he
did
not
believe
that
the
monkey
which
he
saw
in
the
glass
was
making
the
sounds
which
came
from
the
horn.
