Not that she had veneration for titles. She considered them a tinsel, and the devotee on his knee-caps to them a lump for a kick.
Besides the spears on their breasts, the bodkin tusks, the brass plates which covered their sides, and the daggers fastened to their knee-caps, they had at the extremity of their tusks a leathern bracelet, in which the handle of a broad cutlass was inserted; they had set out simultaneously from the back part of the plain, and were advancing on both sides in parallel lines.
When he reached the shore, he took off his breeches, and sat down on the ground, laying one knee across a stone. Then he took another stone to serve as a hammer, and with that he hammered both his knee-caps until they were altogether smashed. And there he lay. He lay there for a long time, but at last he got up and went down to his kayak, and now he could only walk with little and painful steps.
"What do you make of this?" he said, stopping before a glass jar some four feet high, in which, to the peril of one's nerves, you could distinctly see the upper two-thirds of a child's body. Head, trunk, and arms were beautifully fashioned, but there was no vestige of growth below the knee-caps. I could only show my astonishment.
These sleek, smooth-skinned, soft-footed, lithe, almost serpentine animals, torture with a grace of movement, and a gentleness in strength which has something in it more violently repugnant to our natures than any sensation with which the thought of the blundering charge and savage goring of the buffalo, or the clumsy kneading with giant knee-caps, that the elephant metes out to its victims, can ever inspire in us.
Hooper was a short, stout man, with a large bald forehead, and long black hair; his small eyes were watchful as a ferret's, and his fat chubby hands were constantly laid on his knee-caps. 'I met Mrs. White's servant in the street, he said, looking at Kate as if he were trying to read through the rouge on her face, 'so I came at once. Mrs.
It ain't a knockout blow, you know, but it's awful wearin' in a long fight. It takes the starch out of you." When his knees were bared, Saxon could see the skin across the knee-caps was broken and gone. "The skin ain't made to stand a heavy fellow like me on the knees," he volunteered. "An' the rosin in the canvas cuts like Sam Hill."
But they are not in front of the knees; they are in the knees. They are pieces of silver wire which have been used to repair fractured knee-caps." "Are you sure of that?" exclaimed Dr. Norbury, peering at the little white marks with ecstasy; "because, if you are, and if these objects are what you say they are, the mummy of Sebek-hotep is an absolutely unique specimen."
Hence, if these bones of Sebek-hotep could be made to simulate the remains of the deceased testator, a definite good would be achieved. But I knew that the entire skeleton could never be mistaken for his. The deceased had broken his knee-caps and damaged his ankle, injuries which I assumed would leave some permanent trace.
They'll probably shoot you in the legs. That's just as good, and it's a heap easier to get away with." Speed felt his knee-caps twitching. "I've got it!" said he at last. "I'll run at night!" Stover hesitated thoughtfully. "I don't reckon you could do yourself justice that-away, but you might do your trainin' at daylight.
