The rebranding through a wet blanket he knew and could prove; the ear-marking of an unbranded calf until it could be weaned he understood; the paring of hoofs to prevent travelling he could tell as far as he could see; the crafty alteration of similar brands as when a Mexican changed Johnson's Lazy Y to a Dumb-bell Bar he saw through at a glance.
The company passed out into other rooms until no one was left but Mrs. Blakesly, the professor, and Ware. Miss Powell was talking again, and to Ware mainly. Ware was thoughtful, Miss Powell radiant. "I didn't know what life was till I could do that." She took up a large dumb-bell and, extending it at arm's length, whirled it back and forth.
I am very ill to-day I have a splitting headache and I am weak. It is from trying to save too much money for the dumb-bell, I fear. But I laugh what care I? My body is going to wreck but what care I? Ah, it is a fine thing to be death-devoted, and freed from all the ills that flesh is heir to! I go my way do what I please hammer on and on, and let happen what will. What, old head! wilt ache?
Then came the tug-of-war. A magnificent tug-of-war, too one hundred students at one end of a rope, and another hundred at the other. But the most wonderful spectacles of the day were the dumb-bell exercises.
E.C. Pickering, that Eros is shaped something like a dumb-bell.
Miriam got up and swung the half-read letter above her head like a dumb-bell. She looked about her like a stranger everything was as it had been the day she came the little cramped basement hall the strange German girls small and old looking, poking about amongst the baskets. She hardly knew them. She passed half-blindly amongst them with her eyes wide.
With one fifty-pound dumb-bell, or a pair of half that size or more or less, according to his strength and habits, a man may exercise nearly every muscle in his body in half an hour, if he has sufficient ingenuity in positions.
I had a rubdown and then got into pyjamas for some dumb-bell exercises with two chairs, for that long wet ride had stiffened my arm and shoulder muscles. They were a vulgar suit of primitive blue, which Blenkiron had looted from my London wardrobe. As Cornelis Brandt I had sported a flannel nightgown.
Sherlock Holmes put the sopping bundle upon the table beside the lamp and undid the cord which bound it. From within he extracted a dumb-bell, which he tossed down to its fellow in the corner. Next he drew forth a pair of boots. "American, as you perceive," he remarked, pointing to the toes. Then he laid upon the table a long, deadly, sheathed knife.
"Well, the trouble with a lot of these fellows is, they simply don't know what they're talking about. They don't get down to facts.... What do you think of Ken Escott?" "I'll tell you, dad: it strikes me Ken is a nice lad; no special faults except he smokes too much; but slow, Lord! Why, if we don't give him a shove the poor dumb-bell never will propose! And Rone just as bad. Slow."
