Excerpt from Jimmy Gold-Coast, or the Story of a Monkey and His Friends He said it over and over again to me that day Of our parting, and quite affectionately too, just like a girl, and he was not an affectionate lad by any means. He had a quiet, ugly little temper of his own, but he never hurt me, his dear young monkey. Indeed, he used to hug and kiss me when no one was looking, for I was the only one that loved that peculiar youth whom his companions called Napoleon because he was such a dictator. These companions pretended to like him, but they did not. Each one was out for himself. They were jealous and afraid of him when - but I am not going to tell much about his badness, for I am writing a story for boys and girls. However, it is no harm to let them know that I was once a bad little monkey and belonged to a bad boy who was almost a young man, and oh! What troubles we had. They are over now, but I assure you that we had first to cross some stormy seas. We were a seagoing pair, and I had been half over the world with my master, when one day he took a steamer for America - the northern part Of it, and came to a very beautiful place called Canada.
