Toto was a little red monkey whose eyes sparkled with mischief underneath deep-set eyebrows and his smile was as white as a pearl. His smile was such that it would scare the then old Anglo-Indian ladies. His hands were dried up as if they had been in the sun for many years. Despite this, his fingers were quick and wicked and his tail which was his innate ornament worked as his third hand and helped him hang on a branch or savor delicacies that were otherwise out of his reach.
