He
sketched
himself
in
to
give
a
scale
of
heights
.
He
was
,
we
will
say
,
over
five
feet
high
.
The
tree
is
ten
times
bigger
,
which
is
what
one
would
expect
.
"
"
Good
heavens
!
"
I
cried
.
"
Then
you
think
the
beast
was
--
--
Why
,
Charing
Cross
station
would
hardly
make
a
kennel
for
such
a
brute
!
"
"
Apart
from
exaggeration
,
he
is
certainly
a
well-grown
specimen
,
"
said
the
Professor
,
complacently
.
"
But
,
"
I
cried
,
"
surely
the
whole
experience
of
the
human
race
is
not
to
be
set
aside
on
account
of
a
single
sketch
"
--
I
had
turned
over
the
leaves
and
ascertained
that
there
was
nothing
more
in
the
book
--
"
a
single
sketch
by
a
wandering
American
artist
who
may
have
done
it
under
hashish
,
or
in
the
delirium
of
fever
,
or
simply
in
order
to
gratify
a
freakish
imagination
.
You
ca
n't
,
as
a
man
of
science
,
defend
such
a
position
as
that
.
"
For
answer
the
Professor
took
a
book
down
from
a
shelf
.
"
This
is
an
excellent
monograph
by
my
gifted
friend
,
Ray
Lankester
!
"
said
he
.
"
There
is
an
illustration
here
which
would
interest
you
.
Ah
,
yes
,
here
it
is
!
The
inscription
beneath
it
runs
:
'
Probable
appearance
in
life
of
the
Jurassic
Dinosaur
Stegosaurus
.
The
hind
leg
alone
is
twice
as
tall
as
a
full-grown
man
.
'
Well
,
what
do
you
make
of
that
?
"
He
handed
me
the
open
book
.
I
started
as
I
looked
at
the
picture
.
In
this
reconstructed
animal
of
a
dead
world
there
was
certainly
a
very
great
resemblance
to
the
sketch
of
the
unknown
artist
.
"
That
is
certainly
remarkable
,
"
said
I.
"
But
you
wo
n't
admit
that
it
is
final
?
"
"
Surely
it
might
be
a
coincidence
,
or
this
American
may
have
seen
a
picture
of
the
kind
and
carried
it
in
his
memory
.
It
would
be
likely
to
recur
to
a
man
in
a
delirium
.
