The boys explained to him that it was a new type of car that they were trying out for the first time and then Dick helped the scientist lift his bicycle into the tonneau. He would have helped him with his weighty load of specimens, but the professor refused to be parted from them.
Very few specimens have come down to our times, but those which we possess show great beauty both in design and execution. Grecian statuary began with ideal representations of the deities, and was carried to the greatest perfection by Phidias in his statues of Jupiter and Minerva.
Runners came from three of the other villages, and they were the flower of the tribe lithe, sinewy, swift and splendid specimens of manly beauty, symmetry and grace.
Considered generally, these peasants of the Haut-Quercy are not fine specimens of the human animal. They are dwarfed, and very often deformed.
