I have heard people exclaiming at the beautiful effect of the breezes passing over a luxuriant field of growing wheat, giving the appearance of waves on a lake; but when the wheat is in bloom, it is doubtful if this is a reason for congratulation, as the blooms are rubbed off in the process, which may be the cause of thin-chested ears at harvest, when, instead of being set in full rows of four or five grains abreast, only two or three can be found, reducing the total number in an ear from a maximum of about seventy to fifty or less.
Thin-chested, round-shouldered, scraggy-bearded, dull-eyed and open-mouthed, they all looked alike all looked as ignorant, as stupid, and as lazy as they were poor and weak. They were "low-downers" in every respect, and made our rough and simple. minded East Tennesseans look like models of elegant and cultured gentlemen in contrast.
"Well, well, Abby, takin' a nap?" demanded a thin-chested, wiry old man coming around the corner of the house and seating himself on the veranda steps. The little old woman gave a guilty start and began to knit vigorously. "Dear me, no, Hezekiah.
Henley, gives a vivid picture: "Thin-legged, thin-chested, slight unspeakably, Neat-footed and weak-fingered: in his face Lean, large-honed, curved of beak, and touched with race, Bold-lipped, rich-tinted, mutable as the sea, The brown eyes radiant with vivacity There shown a brilliant and romantic grace, A spirit intense and rare, with trace on trace Of passion, impudence, and energy.

He could have broken, or bent double with one twist, the weedy, thin-chested Fielding.
Yet he scarcely realized these details at the time so closely was his whole attention centred on the figure of a man.

The boys received him cordially, and Pentecost offered him the nightly hospitality of curling up to sleep in front of the bar-room fireplace.

Of the other two, a little white-faced, thin-chested youth named Pulz, and a villainous-looking Mexican called Perdosa, I shall have more to say later. My arrival broke the talk on alchemy.
