He had yellow-white hair that rested on his head like a window-mop, whitey blue eyes, and a pasty complexion. When he craned his neck in his anxiety to get my order right, I felt that his giraffe throat reached down to his waist-line and that all of it would come out of his collar if I didn't make up my mind at once "what it should be." "Who's he, Muffles?" I asked. "Dat's me new bar-keep.
He rose to his feet, thrust out his waist-line and made a dignified exit by way of closing the discussion. A moment later, however, he returned with less dignity than haste. "Mawruss," he hissed, "that young feller that that now, Ike is telephoning." "Well," Morris replied, "one telephone message ain't going to put us into bankruptcy, Abe." "Bankruptcy, nothing!" Abe exclaimed.
At the left of the table Genevieve Hassiebrock, with thirteen's crab-like silhouette of elbow, rigid plaits, and nose still hitched to the star of her nativity, wound an exceedingly long arm about Miss Hassiebrock's trim waist-line. "I got B in de-portment to-day, Loo. You owe me the wear of your spats Sunday." Miss Hassiebrock squeezed the hand at her waist. "All right, honey.

Although always plump, her figure had been comely, with a neat, well-marked waist.
