The old man addressed a long harangue to Jemmy, which it seems was to invite him to stay with them.

But Jemmy understood very little of their language, and was, moreover, thoroughly ashamed of his countrymen.

When York Minster afterwards came on shore, they noticed him in the same way, and told him he ought to shave; yet he had not twenty dwarf hairs on his face, whilst we all wore our untrimmed beards.

They examined the colour of his skin, and compared it with ours.

One of our arms being bared, they expressed the liveliest surprise and admiration at its whiteness, just in the same way in which I have seen the ourang-outang do at the Zoological Gardens.
