Several Herbie stories conclude with a main female character falling in love with someone (or something) unusual: a caveman, an alien, or an animal.

Does this topic remind you of Nell Fenwick's love for Dudley Do-right's horse?

Index terms: bestiality, forbidden love, attraction, Lizzie Gimpflheimer, alien king, camel, Ruritanian Queen, Gilmartin gorilla, Hepzibah Higgins, Miss Marleybone, BumBum caveman, Richard E. Hughes, Ogden Whitney

Pseudo Example: Although not strictly an animal, Herbie's teacher, Miss Marleybone, does fall for a prehistoric caveman, BumBum. Okay, BumBum IS, strictly, an animal.
