chimpanzees in the new apes’ house, and admired the gentle humanity of their
eyes—“so much more human than human beings”—and they watched the Agile
Gibbon in the next apartment doing wonderful leaps and aerial somersaults. She was very pale, but she
reminded him more at that minute than at any time of “Alcide” as he had first
known her. That did not sound like the
name the young man had offered in the tower of the water-clock.
