When, by dint of great entreaties, he obtained an arm-bone of the skeleton from the Venetians, and received it with solemn pomp at Naples, how strangely Christian and pagan sentiment must have been blended in his heart! During a campaign in the Abruzzi, when the distant Sulmona, the birthplace of Ovid, was pointed out to him, he saluted the spot and returned thanks to its tutelary genius.
Homology may be further distinguished into a relationship which, on evolutionary principles, would be due to descent from a common ancestor, as the homological relation between the arm-bone of the horse and that of the ox, or between the singular ankle bones of the two lemurine genera, cheirogaleus and galago, and which relation has been termed by Mr.
It kicks forward, raising its long and powerful leg high in the air and bringing it down with a blow so swift that the eye cannot follow it and so forcible that I have seen one such stroke smash all together the collar-bone, shoulder-blade, upper arm-bone and half the ribs on that side of its unfortunate victim, a big, agile, vigorous Nubian, habituated to ostriches in their haunts.
Well, the teeth were gone, but three instead of two, and on laying the arm-bone bare, 'twas plain it had never been broken, and, in like manner, nothing wrong with the right shoulder, and there was nothing like so much deltoid and biceps as Nutter had.
Tessibel wound her fingers about the arm-bone of the hag. "Air there a cross with a Christ hangin' on it?" The witch looked deeper into the dark mixture, her eyes squinting to narrow slits, and Tess continued: "A hangin' Christ that air hurt, and be there thorns a-diggin' in Him?"
She came back, and knelt once more at his side first, however, laying the stick in dispute beyond his reach and within her own. The instant she had finished retying the joint, he made a grab at her, thinking, apparently, to seize her by the hair; but his hard fingers slipped on the smooth poll. "Disgusting!" he muttered, and laid hold of her upper arm-bone.
A day or two more passed swiftly away, I was rapidly regaining strength, my fractured arm-bone had knit itself firmly together again though of course it was still quite useless, the splints not having been removed, and the use of a sling promising to remain a necessity for some little time longer and I was revolving seriously in my mind the question of what would be the best course to pursue in order to rejoin my ship, when a little incident occurred which immediately diverted my thoughts in an entirely different direction.
Chris said that as long as they were at Crawley before the George shut up they could work it. 'It's poor pay for a chance of a rope, said Red Ike. 'Rope be damned! cried Chris, takin' a little loaded stick out of his side pocket. 'If three of you 'old him down and I break his arm-bone with this, we've earned our money, and we don't risk more'n six months' jug. ''E'll fight, said Berks.
Palmer, the leg-maker, might be able to adapt some form of arm to my left shoulder, as on that side there remained five inches of the arm-bone, which I could move to a moderate extent. The hope proved illusory, as the stump was always too tender to bear any pressure. The hospital referred to was in charge of several surgeons while I was an inmate, and was at all times a clean and pleasant home.
Her arm-bone was badly broken and her right hand remained so stiff, notwithstanding Master Hartmann Knorr's best skill, that she could no more use the pen save with great pain, albeit she often after this rode on horseback.
