CHAPTER
VI.
Dago
Talks
about
the
Weather--Tells
me
of
his
Troubles--Dodo
in
the
"Balcony
Scene"--Her
Portrait
by
a
great
Artist.
On
one
of
my
visits
to
Chicago,
in
the
autumn
of
1890,
I
went
to
pay
my
respects
to
Dago,
the
little
brown
monkey
in
Lincoln
Park.
He
had
been
sick
for
a
while,
and
had
not
fully
recovered,
although
he
was
able
to
receive
visitors,
and
his
appetite
for
pea-nuts
was
fairly
well
restored.
On
the
morning
of
which
I
speak,
it
was
dark
and
stormy.
A
fierce
wind
and
terrible
rain
prevailed
from
the
north-west.
I
went
to
the
building
just
after
daylight,
in
order
to
be
alone
with
the
monkey,
and
when
I
entered
the
house,
Frenchie,
the
head-keeper,
told
me
how
very
sick
little
Dago
had
been
since
I
had
left
him
on
the
day
before.
I
approached
the
cage
and
began
to
caress
him,
to
which
he
replied
in
low
whimpering
tones,
as
though
he
understood
the
nature
of
what
I
was
saying
to
him.
Presently
he
raised
himself
erect
upon
his
hind
feet,
and
placing
his
hands
on
his
side,
pressed
and
rubbed
it
as
though
he
was
in
great
pain,
and
uttered
some
sounds
in
a
low,
piping
voice.
