They were huge, full-chested, strong-armed men who swore and drank heavily, but were honest and straight. There were characters here from the docks and from the merchant service, some of whom had surely been created for W.W. Jacobs. He was a little man with beady eyes and a huge curled moustache.
Shall we put him to the oath?" "Aye, aye, Sir!" responded the deep chorus of scores of full-chested voices. Or, at least, so it seemed to us, though, mayhap, 'twas no more than Jimmy who spoke. "Swear him, then!" commanded Jean Lafitte. "Swear him by the oath of blood." "We we haven't any blood!" whispered L'Olonnois, aside, somewhat troubled.
The other, a small, broad-shouldered, full-chested, squat individual, with a flat nose and a brutal face the champion light-weight boxer of our unit implored the Sergeant in whining tones to let him go home. The Sergeant, however, told him to shut up and go on with his work. Gradually the firing became less and less frequent, until finally it died down altogether.
A very handsome young fellow was Ishmael Worth as he entered the drawing room that evening. He had attained his full height, over six feet, and he had grown broad-shouldered and full-chested, with the prospect of becoming the athletic man of majestic presence that he appeared in riper years. His hair and eyes were growing much darker; you might now call the first dark brown and the last dark gray.
There was a plump, full-chested bird, in a chocolate-colored vest, with a bluish dress coat, that would mount the highest tree-top in early spring, and play his flute by the hour for very joy to see the snow melt and the buds swell again.
They saw a tall, broad-shouldered, full-chested young man, who stood, with a certain dignity, looking upon the notes that he held in his hand; and when he lifted his stately head to address the court they saw that his face was not only beautiful in the noble mold of the features, but almost divine from the inspiring soul within.
Antonio, the blacksmith to whom this honor was destined, was one of those broad-backed, full-chested, long-limbed fellows one shall often see around Sorrento, with great, kind, black eyes like those of an ox, and all the attributes of a healthy, kindly, animal nature.
The dry woods were poor for scent, but the damp margin of the marsh proved good, and Turk became keenly interested and very sniffy. A preliminary "Woof!" was followed by one or two yelps and then a full-chested "Boooow!" that left no doubt he had struck a hot trail at last. Oh, what wonderfully thrilling horn-blasts those were!
Then there was a funny little old guy in a cutaway and a purple tie, a couple of squatty, full-chested women dressed as fancy as a pair of plush sofas, a maid or so, and a pie-faced scared-lookin' gink that it was easy to guess must be the butler. Everybody had been so busy talkin' that they hadn't heard us swarm up the steps. "I say," whispers Mr. Robert, "hadn't we better call it off?"
Here is the story: "It was on the fifteenth of October, 1854 I shall remember that date as long as I live. "I left Rouen on horseback, followed by my dog Bock, a big Dalmatian hound from Poitou, full-chested and with a heavy jaw, which could retrieve among the bushes like a Pont-Andemer spaniel. "I was carrying my satchel slung across my back and my gun diagonally across my chest.
