At one point, Herbert alone looks into the fire and sees faces in the dancing flames. Jacobs uses the

phrase, “so horrible and so simian” in the description of this. What

ordinary words could he have used instead, and how does the

connotation of the words he did use add an element of eeriness to what

is being described?
