Trery. 'In the jangle and jungle of life you must kill or be killed, you must eat or be eaten, you must trap or be trapped. The great Rhino knew it-had always known it, had prepared for it, had grown a lovely thick skin for it, and long, thick tusks for it. And he hewed his was through the jungle and nothing could stop him and he stopped at nothingâ"andâ"ugh ! - he was always there, grabbing and getting, spreading and swelling, overtaking, overpowering, overwhelming; nothing could stop him. But even a Rhino has his soft side, and his soft side made him up one day to look for a mate. Being the Rhino that he was, only the best would satisfy him. Spying a beautiful and haughty Peacock strutting about in her proud way in the dazzling sunshine, he made up his mind. "I'll have her," he said to himself ; and went after her and won her and she bore him three offsprings, two she-males and a he, and their names were Barbara, Sarah, and Stephen. Barbara was a Honey-bee, Sarah a Salamander, and Stephen a Mule. (Imagine it !)'.

Morris was born in Wrexham, Denbighshire, Wales. Her acting career began in 1903, when she went on a tour to the West Indies and India with Frank Benson's company. She also travelled to the United States, Ireland, Nova Scotia, and New Zealand. She mainly acted in plays by George Bernard Shaw, whom she greatly admired. From 1916 to 1920, she appeared in Shakespearean plays with the Henry Jewett Players, and then in London theatres from 1920 on. In 1929, Morris toured with the Macdona Company. In 1931, she played Vera Lyndon in "Strange Orchestra" at the Embassy Theatre, and in 1937 was in "After October" at the Criterion Theatre and the Aldwych Theatre. She retired in 1939. She wrote "Tales from Bernard Shaw", which was first published in 1929 by George G. Harrap and Co. of London, and was printed by H & J Pillans & Wilson of Edinburgh. A U.S. edition was published in 1929 by Frederick A. Stokes of New York. In the introduction to the book, Morris explains that the character of Jack (a chattering monkey in her story of "Man and Superman") is Shaw himself, and that the woman's part in another of her stories ("Captain Brassbound's Conversion") is written "expressly for and round the personality of Ellen Terry", a famous actress of the day who had died, a year before publication, in 1928.'
