Mechanical appliances will, if not judiciously applied, and in a proper case, waste away the muscles, and will thus increase the mischief; if they cause the ribs to be pushed in in one place, they will bulge them out in another, until, instead of being one, there will be a series of deformities.
The meadow stretches under a bulge of low hills to join at the back with the pasture land of the Bray country, while on the eastern side the plain, gently rising, broadens out, showing as far as eye can follow its blonde corn-fields.
To the left it fell away gradually towards the sea. This formed the third side of the triangle. But between Balaklava and Sebastopol the land made a wide bulge outwards, and in this bulge lay the French harbor of Kamiesch.

What could be more philanthropic than I produce my bit of string and help him out? Aint that a proper Christian attitude, guvner?" "Possibly; but what, may I ask, makes your pockets bulge so suspiciously? Is that another philanthropy?" "Accident, guvner, sheer accident.
Nag coiled himself down, coil by coil, round the bulge at the bottom of the water-jar, and Rikki-tikki stayed still as death. After an hour he began to move, muscle by muscle, toward the jar.

"She's sure a grand little thing cuddled up there, ain't it so, mammela?" She reached up to pat his blue shirt-sleeve.
Looking down almost directly over the eastern bulge of the African coast, he sighted what was probably the ECM lathe he was after, and kicked towards it, simultaneously pulling his pistol-gripped Rate of Approach Indicator from the socket in his suit. The RAI gun, he sometimes felt, was the real reason he'd become a spaceman in these tame days.
By handfulls he took small boxes from the shelves inside, added some paper packets, and then buckled the straps tightly over the new bulge. "I understand," he said in his dry, precise voice, "there is a pressing need for quinine, morphine, and the like in the South?" Drew could only nod as Hale held out the bags.
