She only knew that Billy was dead. With an oath the man flung her from him and turned on his heel. SHE ONLY KNEW THAT BILLY WAS DEAD WITH AN OATH THE MAN FLUNG HER FROM HIM AND TURNED ON HIS HEEL
lothes hung in the wind to dry, and Billy seemed to crumple up suddenly, and slid down upon the grass in an untidy heap. "Ah-h-h!" said Mr. Flinks. He drew back and stared stupidly at that sprawling flesh which just now had been a man, and was seized with uncontrollable shuddering. "Ah-h-h!" said Mr. Flinks, very quietly. And Margaret went mad. The earth and the sky dissolved in many floating specks and then went red--red like that heap yonder. The veneer of civilisation peeled, fell from her like snow from a shaken garment. The primal beast woke and flicked aside the centuries' work. She was the Cave-woman who had seen the death of her mate--the brute who had been robbed of her mate. "Damn you! _Damn_ you!" she screamed, her voice high, flat, quite unhuman; "ah, God in Heaven damn you!" With inarticulate bestial cries she fell upon the man who had killed Billy, and her violet fripperies fluttered, her impotent little hands beat at him, tore at him. She was fearless, shameless, insane. E AND THEY FLAPPED LOOSELY AT THE WRISTS LIKE WET CLOTHES HUNG IN THE WIND TO DRY AND BILLY SEEMED TO CRUMPLE UP SUDDENLY AND SLID DOWN UPON THE GRASS IN AN UNTIDY HEAP AH SAID MISTER FLINKS HE DREW BACK AND STARED STUPIDLY AT THAT SPRAWLING FLESH WHICH JUST NOW HAD BEEN A MAN AND WAS SEIZED WITH UNCONTROLLABLE SHUDDERING AH SAID MISTER FLINX VERY QUIETLY AND MARGARET WENT MAD THE EARTH AND SKY DISSOLVED IN MANY FLOATING SPECKS AND THEN WENT RED RED LIKE THAT HEAP YONDER THE VENEER OF CIVILIZATION PEALED FELL FROM HER LIKE SNOW FROM A SHAKEN GARMENT THE PRIMAL BEAST WOKE AND FLICKED ASIDE THE CENTURY'S WORK SHE WAS THE CAVE WOMAN WHO HAD SEEN THE DEATH OF HER MATE THE BRUTE WHO HAD BEEN ROBBED OF HER MATE DAMN YOU DAMN YOU SHE SCREAMED HER VOICE HIGH FLAT QUITE UNHUMAN AY GOD IN HEAVEN DAMN YOU WITH INARTICULATE BESTIAL CRIES SHE FELL UPON THE MAN WHO HAD KILLED BILLY AND HER VIOLET FRIPPERIES FLUTTERED HER IMPOTENT LITTLE HANDS BEAT AT HIM TORE AT HIM SHE WAS FEARLESS SHAMELESS INSANE
