The dolmen of Carnouet in Brittany, insignificant as it appears and containing but one small sepulchral chamber with no gallery of access or lateral crypts, beneath a tumulus about thirteen feet high by some eighty-five in diameter, and which was left untouched until our own day, actually contained a golden necklace weighing over seven ounces; in the crypt of the Castellet monument was found a golden plaque and a golden bead; whilst the Ors dolmen in the isle of Oleron concealed a nugget which had been rolled into the shape of a bead probably after having been beaten thin with a hammer.
More than 8,000 different objects were taken from the fine Neolithic station of Ors in the isle of Oleron; 12,000 chips of stone, bearing marks of human workmanship, were picked up in the Thayngen Cave, and more than 80,000 in the different caves of Belgium.
"As you would not dine with us, Ors' Anton'," he said, "I advise you not to keep Mademoiselle Colomba waiting any longer. And then it is not always wise to be out on the roads after sunset. Why do you come out without a gun? There are bad folk about here beware of them! You have nothing to fear to-day. The Barricini are bringing the prefect home with them.
And as Chilina hesitated, he lifted up the linen that was wrapped round the bundle, and saw it contained a loaf of bread and other food. "To whom are you bringing the loaf, my dear?" he asked again. "You know quite well, Ors' Anton': to my uncle." "And isn't your uncle a bandit?" "At your service, Ors' Anton'." "If you met the gendarmes, they would ask you where you were going. . . ."
But before he moved away he had slipped the money into he bandit's wallet, unperceived by him. "Good-bye, Ors' Anton'," quoth the theologian. "We shall meet again in the maquis, some day, perhaps, and then we'll continue our study of Virgil." Quite a quarter of an hour after Orso had parted company with these worthies, he heard a man running after him, as fast as he could go. It was Brandolaccio.
For the second time, in his fancy, he was about to kiss Miss Nevil's snow-white hand, when, as his horse stopped short, he very nearly kissed its head, in stern reality. Little Chilina had barred his way, and seized his bridle. "Where are you going to, Ors' Anton'?" she said. "Don't you know your enemy is close by?" "My enemy!" cried Orso, furious at being interrupted at such a delightful moment.
I thought it would be useful, also, in all new draughts, to reform the style of the later British statutes, and of our own acts of Assembly; which, from their verbosity, their endless tautologies, their involutions of case within case, and parenthesis within parenthesis, and their multiplied efforts at certainty, by saids and afore-saids, by ors and by ands, to make them more plain, are really rendered more perplexed and incomprehensible, not only to common readers, but to the lawyers themselves.
"I found I had a mould for that calibre, and you shall have four-and-twenty cartridges to-day, brother." "I don't need them, thank God!" "You mustn't be taken at a disadvantage, Ors' Anton'. You have forgotten your country, and the people who are about you." "If I had forgotten, you would soon have reminded me. Tell me, did not a big trunk arrive here some days ago?" "Yes, brother.
It was as though they had crawled up like snakes through the tangle of cytisus and myrtle that covered the ground. "Oh, Ors' Anton', you're welcome!" said the elder of the two men. "Why, don't you remember me?" "No!" said Orso, looking hard at him. "Queer how a beard and a peaked cap alter a man! Come, monsieur, look at me well! Have you forgotten your old Waterloo men?
You would have seen him now, if he would have listened to me if he would have let me settle Guidice's business! . . . But he wouldn't listen to me, poor fellow! He knows I was right, now!" "Well, well!" said the old man. "Guidice will lose nothing by waiting." "Evvviva Ors' Anton'!" And the reports of a dozen guns capped the plaudit.
