Sometimes, however, I find something new, and in Toronto I saw a great specimen of natural curiosity, a being which they call the "bear woman." This poor creature looks exactly like an ourang outang, and her head is completely animal; her entire face is covered with black hair, so much so that she can hardly look out of her eyes. At first sight I thought she was an animal, but she talks so sensibly, both in English and Spanish, that I cannot denny her to be at least half human. I think she is the greatest living curiosity I ever saw.
