ENTERTAINING A VISITOR. 79

 

HERE is a very funny picture. This monkey has
found his way into the drawing-room, where sits
one of his mistress’s visitors. She is rather afraid
of him, but thinks it is wiser to keep on friendly
terms with him, and is offering him some sweet
cake she intended to give to the children. Mr.
Monkey, who wants to be thought like his master
rather than like a little child, is shaking his head
and making all sorts of queer faces and sounds in
his throat. It is no wonder the poor visitor is
somewhat alarmed.
