Mr Monkey carried on looking at exhibits in the Pump Rooms Annexe. He was fascinated by an ornate cabinet of different sorts of Harrogate water that had been displayed at the Great Exhibition in 1851. When he studied a display case full of antiquities, he was particularly impressed by the baboon's head on the canopic jar.
