cholmondeley,known to his friend as Chumley, was a full-grown chimpanzee; his owner, a District Officer, was finding the ape's large size rather awkward, and he wanted to send him to London Zoo as a present so that he could visit the animal when he was back in England on leave. He wrote asking us if we would mind taking Chumley back with us when we left, and depositing him at his new home in London, and we replied that we would not mind at all. I don't think that either John or myself had the least idea how big Chumley was. I know that I visualized an ape about three years old, standing about three feet high. I got a rude shock when Chumley moved in.

cholmondeley, aan sy vriend as Chumley bekend, was 'n volgroeide sjimpansee; sy eienaar, 'n Distrik Beampte, was die vind van die aap se groot grootte eerder ongemaklik, en hy wou hom te stuur na Londen Zoo as 'n geskenk sodat hy kon die dier besoek toe hy terug in Engeland op verlof. Hy het geskryf vra ons as ons sou neem omgee Chumley terug met ons wanneer ons verlaat, en deponeer hom by sy nuwe huis in Londen, en ons het geantwoord dat ons nie sou omgee nie. Ek dink nie dat óf John of myself het die minste idee hoe groot Chumley was. Ek weet dat ek gevisualiseer 'n aap sowat drie jaar oud, staan sowat drie meter hoog. Ek het 'n groot skok toe Chumley ingetrek het.
