About ten minutes from the mouth you see a common- sized fig-tree on your right hand, as you ascend, hanging over the water; it bears a very small fig twice a year. When its fruit is ripe this manikin is on the tree from morn till eve. On all the ripe fig-trees in the forest you see the bird called the small tiger-bird.
The birth of his manikin baby and the accompanying death of his wife increase his cares past bearing. He thereupon commits three crimes in succession: he applies to Jolly for an increase of pay, he joins the agrarian movement of a year ago, and he attempts to run away and find work elsewhere.
Cousin Benedict, however, was destined never to see those two optical attendants again, because they had been buried with the royal manikin. So, when he found some insect, he was reduced to thrusting it into his eyes to distinguish its most prominent peculiarities.
As soon as the soldier was alone again, he lighted his pipe and summoned the black manikin. 'Have no fear, said the latter to his master. 'Go wheresoever they take you, and let them do what they will, only take the blue light with you. Next day the soldier was tried, and though he had done nothing wicked, the judge condemned him to death.
About six o'clock there came a rap on the caravan door, and a woman in a long cloak appeared, asking if Mother Manikin were there. She belonged to the Royal Show of Dwarfs, and she had come to take Mother Manikin home before the business of the market-place commenced.
The object of study is the garment, not the figure.... The manikin, therefore, has the same value as any other geometrical figure of three or four dimensions, which is used for the study of relation.
What am I to give him?" "Nothing dressy. He isn't a manikin, he's a real Doric boy." She slapped Dirmikis on the back with a generous hand. He smiled radiantly, this time without any savagery. "The sort of boy who'll be of some use in the world." "I'll give him a tip." Rosamund seemed about to assent when an idea struck her, as she afterwards said, "with the force of a bomb."
A burst of sardonic laughter escaped from her lips; she remounted, then descended again like a maniac, and each time uttered new cries and new bursts of laughter. A noise was heard near the door, and the old woman bounded forward, unhooked the manikin and carried it off; then, leaning over the balustrade with her throat elongated, her eyes flashing, she listened earnestly.
You are to understand, therefore, that the Education of Henry Adams has nothing to do really with the person Henry Adams. Since the time of Rousseau, the Ego has steadily tended to efface itself, and, for purposes of model, to become a manikin, on which the toilet of education is to be draped in order to show the fit or misfit of the clothes.
Some of the female figures were represented wearing flowing gowns and costumes of the height of fashion tall and noble women. By way of contrast there were little manikin wine jugs of the most grotesque forms. The Spaniards made leather upholsteries of remarkable designs; they also ornamented boxes, trunks, and cases for knives and costly trinkets. "Cuir boulli" Work.
