They spoke Chinook, and I could understand them. Well, as they came near I saw that they had a woman with them." Bagot leaned forward, his body strained, every muscle tense. "A woman?" he said, as if breathing gave him sorrow "my wife?" "Your wife." "Quick! Quick! Go on oh, go on, m'sieu' good father." "She fell at my feet, begging me to save her. . . . I waved her off."
"I always thought I loved pictures best," she thought; "but Bab cares more for these old ones than I do." Lucile Sherman. In life's small things be resolute and great To keep thy muscle trained; Knowest thou when Fate Thy measure takes? Or when she'll say to thee, "I find thee worthy. Do this deed for me?"
The first set converge from the circumference of the iris to the circular margin of the pupil, and constitute the radiated muscle. The outer ends of these fibers are attached to the sclerotic coat, which is unyielding; hence, when they contract, the pupil enlarges to receive more light.
He matched her girl's beauty with his boy's beauty, her grace with his strength, her delicacy of line and fibre with the harsher vigor and muscle of the male.

The contraction of the pupil is readily seen when a person passes from a darkened room into a bright sunlight, or when a light is first brought into a room in the twilight of evening.
My Dakota tan and my corn-fed muscle melted away. The only part of me which flourished was my hair. I knew that I was physically on the down-grade, but what could I do? Nothing except to cut down my expenses. I was living on less than five dollars a week, but even at that the end of my stay in the city was not far off. Hence I walked gingerly and read fiercely.
With every thump of the heart there is something saying, "Work! work!" and, lest we should complain that we have no tools to work with, God gives us our hands and feet, with every knuckle, and with every joint, and with every muscle saying to us, "Lay hold and do something." But how often it is that men with physical strength do not serve Christ!
But she was the victim of circumstance, bound and helpless, and, though her woman's heart might agonise, there was none to know. A sudden sound in the night a sharp sound like the crack of a whip, but louder, more menacing, more nerve-piercing. She turned, every muscle tense, and listened with bated breath. It had not come from the garden below her. The silence hung there like a pall. Stay!
And between the windows are the giants, the prophets and the sibyls man and woman deified, with inordinate wealth of muscle and grandeur of intellectual expression.
