Excerpt from Four-Handed Folk

I was told that it was a night monkey, that a sailor had brought it from Africa as a pet, and they had bought it from him.

A night monkey! I had no desire for a monkey, full of pranks and mischief, in my houseful Of birds, still less for one who would carry on his performances at night.
