She would make him so ugly that he would not quickly win the heart of the new-comer. Away with that Samsonian strength, down to the last solitary hair! This thought lent a merciless power to her scissors. And when Lorand's head was closely shaven, he was indeed curious to see. It looked so very funny that he laughed at himself when he turned to the glass. The girl too laughed with him.

These organs are no exceptions to the law that exercise is the principal condition of development. Their vigorous training adds more to the stock of vitality than that of other organs. A man may stand still and lift kegs of nails and heavy dumb-bells until his shoulders and arms are Samsonian, it will contribute far less to his health and longevity than a daily run of a mile or two.

He looked down at the sinewy, big-boned, right hand of the scout, still holding it. "Will you step over to the window a moment and give me a look at your hands?" he asked. They went to the window and the Doctor put on his spectacles and examined them closely. "I have never seen such an able, Samsonian fist," he went on.

The second was obviously a true-blue tar a regular sea-dog about thirty years of age, of Samsonian mould, and, albeit running for very life, with grand indignation gleaming in his eyes.

He brought many singers to London for his operas, and their romances would fill ten volumes. There is the famous tenor, Beard, for instance, the creator of "Samson." He created Samsonian scandal by marrying Lady Henrietta Herbert, the only daughter of the Earl of Waldegrave; she died fourteen years later, and he built her a fine monument. Six years later he married the daughter of a harlequin.
