The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
43
Nigger
was
of
this
same
species:
he
was
in
poor
health
most
of
the
winter,
being
afflicted
with
some
spinal
trouble.
But,
notwithstanding
his
affliction,
he
was
a
good
talker.
His
infirmity,
however,
placed
him
at
the
mercy
of
the
other
inmates
of
the
cage,
and
as
monkeys
are
naturally
cruel
and
entirely
destitute
of
sympathy,
the
daily
life
of
Nigger
could
not
be
expected
to
be
a
very
happy
one.
From
this
state
of
facts
Nigger
usually
kept
to
himself,
and
was
not
intimate
with
any
other
monkey
in
the
cage.
I
have
frequently
given
Nigger
some
choice
bits
of
food
while
I
was
in
the
cage,
and
protected
him
from
the
other
monkeys
while
he
was
eating
it.
This
he
seemed
to
fully
appreciate,
and
always
located
himself
at
a
certain
point
in
the
cage
where
his
defence
could
be
effected
with
the
least
difficulty.
Nigger
frequently
indulged
in
the
most
pathetic
and
touching
appeals
to
his
keeper,
and
went
through
many
of
the
gestures,
sounds,
and
contortions
which
will
be
described
in
the
next
chapter,
as
a
part
of
the
speech
and
conduct
of
Dodo,
some
of
whose
remarkable
poses
and
expressions
have
been
faithfully
portrayed
by
Mr.
Church.
