But you don't know that feller Crewe he's a full-size cyclone when he gets started, and nothin' but a range of mountains could stop him." "It must be fairly exciting to ride him, Ham." "Say, but it just is. Kind of breathless, though. He ain't very well known around the State, and he was bound to run and I just couldn't let him come out without any clothes on."
A full-size cross was erected, and on it, apparently, hung a man crowned with thorns, and with head bowed upon his breast. In reality he was kneeling on two ledges placed for the purpose at a convenient distance from the cross-bars. It was cold, and the actor was covered by an old brown tattered cloak, such as the peasants wear now, and which we see in Velasquez's pictures.
"What could have happened, Phyllie? Do you reckon he fell off his hawss, and him a full-size man?" he scoffed. "Yes, but you don't know how Brill looked at me. I'm afraid." "Oh, Brill!"

It is not the force of a blow, but the way in which it is geschlagen, that makes the effect.

Bernard, quite different from anything we have seen or shall see, because isolated. The other full-size figures by these masters such as those at Impruneta are placed against the wall.
Jeff stood the board up against the wall and backed away, studying it with interest. "Those dull reds and blues will show off his guns and pictures and things in fine shape.
