The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
39
In
this
cage
was
kept
another
little
boarder
of
the
same
species,
which
belonged
to
Mr.
G.
Hilton
Scribner,
of
Yonkers.
The
keeper
did
not
know
the
name
or
anything
of
the
past
history
of
this
little
stranger,
and
for
want
of
some
identity
and
a
name
I
called
him
Nemo.
He
was
a
timid,
taciturn
little
fellow,
quite
intelligent,
and
possessed
of
an
amount
of
diplomacy
equal
to
that
of
some
human
beings.
He
was
the
smallest
monkey
in
the
cage,
on
which
account
he
was
somewhat
shy
of
the
others.
He
was
thoughtful,
peaceable,
but
full
of
"guile."
He
sought
on
all
occasions
to
keep
on
the
best
terms
with
Mickie,
to
whom
he
would
toady
like
a
sycophant.
He
would
put
his
little
arms
about
Mickie's
neck
and
hang
on
to
him
in
the
most
affectionate
manner.
He
would
follow
him
like
a
shadow,
and
stay
by
him
like
a
last
hope.
If
anything
ever
aroused
the
temper
of
Mickie
it
was
sure
to
make
Nemo
mad
too;
if
Mickie
was
diverted
and
would
laugh,
Nemo
would
laugh
also
if
he
was
suffering
with
a
toothache.
He
was
as
completely
under
the
control
of
Mickie
as
the
curl
in
Mickie's
tail.
When
I
first
began
to
visit
them
Nemo
would
see
Mickie
bite
my
fingers
while
we
were
playing,
and
he
supposed
it
was
done
in
anger.
