T. Blake, our heroic cave-man!" replied Ashton, as he followed her across the room. "How you love him!" she rallied. "What's the cause of your jealousy?" "Who says I'm jealous?" "Of course there's no reason for you to be. He's not interested in me, and you're not in Genevieve just now." "My dear Dodie! You know you've always been the only one." "Since the last!" she added.
When he fights, on her behalf against a dray-man or a gun-man or an ice-man or any other compound that makes up a modern villain, he is said to "feel all the fierce fighting joy of the cave-man." If they kick him in the ribs, he likes it. If they beat him over the head, he never feels it; because he is, for the moment, a cave-man. And the cave-man is, and is known to be, quite above sensation.
It was with this end in view that they erected menhirs and selected enormous stones for their megalithic monuments. The dolmen, which looks like an architectural building, is but a modification of primitive tombs. The cave-man first turned to account natural or artificial rock shelters, and when they were not to be had, he imitated them in such materials as he had at his disposal.
And thus is the Cave-man in him gloriously aroused to guard her from Nature's wild, while the poetry of their intercourse guards her from himself. What more beautiful existence than to live alone in a forest with the girl you love! I thought that after dinner it might be well to sit again beside the fort where we could watch the prairie.
I waded out with Miss Leslie, and put her into the boat. Told him to hurry her aboard. I cut back to the cleft the place where we'd been staying." "Off your head, eh?" "No. Don't you see? I had to save Jenny. I had proved myself a pretty good cave-man, and she had been living so close to that sort of thing that she had lost her perspective.
Lady Arabella, as might have been anticipated, concealed her own sore-heartedness under a manner that was rather more militant than usual, if that were possible. "Why you hadn't more sense than to spend your time fooling with a sort of cave-man from the backwoods, I can't conceive," she scolded. "You must have known how it would end." "I didn't. I never thought about it.
"You believe in the cave-man method, do you?" he breathed. "It is the kind of treatment you'd like, eh, Jean?" She did not attempt to release her arm. "Keep your hand to yourself, Marcus, please," she said quietly. "You'd like it, wouldn't you, Jean? My God, I'd sacrifice my soul for you, you little devil!" "Be sensible," she said. It was not her words or her firm tone that made him draw back.
You might as well know now as later that I utterly loathe this cave-man stuff. And really, Harold, there is nothing about your appearance that suggests a cave-man, which is probably one reason that I like you." "Like me?" exclaimed the young man. "I thought you loved me." "I have to like you in order to love you, don't I?" she parried. "And one certainly has to like the man she is going to marry."
Just because I eat with a fork, do you think my heart is really any different from that of the cave-man from whom it descended to me, or that your heart is any different from that of the girl he wanted, who kept him guessing and guessing until he couldn't stand it, and then turned and ran and ran through the woods, and swam rivers and climbed trees and jumped down precipices until he caught her?"
When inclined for exercise, he goes for a promenade across an open space labelled "Not to be used by troops by daylight." Therefore, despite his technical excellence and superb courage, he is an uncomfortable neighbour for establishments like Hush Hall. In this respect he offers a curious contrast to the Sapper. Off duty, the Sapper is the most unobtrusive of men a cave-man, in fact.
