Here it seems good to know, or to imagine, that the men I occasionally meet in my solitary rambles, and those I see in the scattered rustic village hard by, are of the same race, and possibly the descendants, of the people who occupied this spot in the remote past-iberian and Celt, and Roman and Saxon and Dane.
"Afoot in England"

Looking at their mother watching her little ones at their frolics with dark shining eyes-the small oval-faced brown-skinned woman with blackest hair-I could but say that she was an iberian, pure and simple, and that her children were like her.
"Afoot in England"

The primitive dark iberian peoples gave way before Aryan-Celtic invaders, and these to Roman and then to Germanic invaders.
