"Ha ha!" said Richard again and banged the dish cover against the table implements of a foodless tray that had marked the hour of a meal time. "Don't fidget!" roared Van Diest, emitting a cloud of tobacco smoke. "Don't smoke!" Richard countered in the same tone. "I shmoke on purpose." "And I fidget on purpose." With a sweep of the hand he sent the tray with a crashing to the floor. "Ach! Ach!
Dwelling-places of these far-distant peoples such as caves and rock-shelters, and the remains of the lake-habitations that were built on piles, in Switzerland and elsewhere sepulchers, camps, and forts, and an immense number of implements and ornaments of stone and metal, have been examined.
If two natives, in a very few years, could deposit the "veritable kitchen midden," with all the sawn horns, bone implements, and other undisputed relics, we must suppose that the term of occupancy was very brief, or not continuous, and that the stone structure "with very thick walls like the brochs" represented labours which were utilised for a few years, or seldom.
