"Some of them were quite happy with their powerful lords, especially delicate-minded ladies who shrank from advertising their misfortune to the readers of the Sunday press. I think most women like to be wooed in the cave-man fashion, Marcus." "Is that the kind of treatment you'd like, Jean?" There was a new note in his voice. Had she looked at him she would have seen a strange light in his eyes.
Certain phrases of Dick's were ringing in his ears to the exclusion of all more immediate conversational fragments. "Cave-man stuff that's the answer to you and Caroline.... This watchful waiting's entirely the wrong idea...." Billy made a great lunge toward the figure of his fiancée, and caught her in his arms. "I've never really kissed you before," he cried, "now I shan't let you go."
She was hustling about already, good primitive housewife that she was, making the stone-plates rattle on the mud table. "Why, really " I began. But I was interrupted by a sudden exclamation from both the Cave-man and the Cave-woman together: "Willie! where's Willie!" "Gracious!" cried the woman. "He's wandered out alone oh, hurry, look for him! Something might get him!
He nodded and was half way across the room when she called to him guardedly: "Oh, Buck! There's a phrase I noticed in that rather lurid magazine Bud brought me two or three weeks ago." Her eyes twinkled. "'Cave-man stuff, I think it was." Coming from her lips the words had an oddly bizarre sound. "It seemed descriptive. Of course one would want to use refinements." "I get you!"
In other places we find the ashes of the fires round which he squatted, often associated with the bones of the wild horses, deer, etc., on which he lived. But the most remarkable indication of progress in the "cave-man" is his artistic skill. Exaggerated conclusions are sometimes drawn from the statuettes, carvings, and drawings which we find among the remains of Magdalenian life.
"Loafing here in the sand" she gave a sniff "and smoking " "My dear," began the Cave-man. "Don't you my-dear me!" she answered. "Look at this place! Nothing tidied up yet and the day half through! Did you put the alligator on to boil?" "I was just going to say " began the Cave-man. "Going to say! Yes, I don't doubt you were going to say. You'd go on saying all day if I'd let you.
I've had all the advantage here. She and I've been living in the Cave Age, and I've proved myself an A-1 cave-man, if I do say it myself. It may be hard for her to get the right perspective of things, even after she's back in her own environment. Understand?"
You take no nonsense from them you fellows are the real primordial, primitive men. We've lost it somehow." "Why, my dear fellow " I began. But the Cave-man, who had sat suddenly upright, interrupted. "Quick! quick!" he said. "Hide that infernal mug! She's coming. Don't you hear!" As he spoke I caught the sound of a woman's voice somewhere in the outer passages of the cave.
"The cave-man style of clubbing one's chosen into unconsciousness and strolling at leisure through the jungle with her wasn't half bad. By the way, I did sell the Allandale man to-day, and the razor-factory stock is going to boom instead of flatten out I'm sure of it." He lit a cigarette and threw himself into an easy-chair.
Stepney lived on a plausible tongue and a pair of highly dexterous hands. It had never occurred to him to go beyond his own sphere, and indeed violence was as repugnant to him as it was vulgar. Yet the cave-man suggestion appealed to him.
