How she could do it was the marvel. You know the wonder of a woman's arm the fore arm, I mean; the sweet fading away from rounded biceps and hint of muscle, down through small elbow and firm soft swell to the wrist, small, unthinkably small and round and strong. This was hers.
The latter, understanding the spirit, if not the words, looked at O'Keefe with a twinkle of approval; turned then to the great Norseman and scanned him with admiration; reached out and squeezed one of the immense biceps. "Lugur will welcome you, at least," he murmured as though to himself. He stood aside and waved a hand courteously, inviting us to pass. We crossed.
How far he succeeded is told in well-authenticated traditions that linger round various spots in Windsor and London. He threw himself into the pursuit of muscle with all the ardour since shown in other directions, and the cup of his joy must have been full when a precise examination led to the demonstration of the fact that his arm measured round the biceps exactly seventeen inches.
He thoughtfully took her biceps in his left hand. "You are magnificent." Then, in ironical protest, he added: "Good God, no! I can't have you come into my family. You'd make caricatures of my wife and daughters. Are all the girls out in the valley like you?" She laughed. "No. Most of them pride themselves on not being horsewomen. Mighty few of 'em ever ride a horse.
Now and then Nadia twitched and started at some vague real or imaginary sound now and then her fingers tightened upon his biceps and he pressed her hand with his great arm in reassurance and understanding.
The muscles refused their duty. The pain was too great. My biceps was being crushed to a pulp.

I fell to the floor, feeling very faint, while he sat down, lighted a cigar, and watched me as a cat watches a mouse.
However, if I was to stay here all my life, instead of going to-morrow, I'd never lift hand to trouble you again, for you taking my part again yourself like that." "I'll put that to the test," said Mrs. Archbold sharply. "Stay on your probation. Hannah!" And Baby-face biceps at a look took off his handcuffs; which she had been prominent in putting on.
Strangely enough, in his bedroom on the other side of the party wall Captain 'Bias stood at that moment deep in meditation. He, too, was rubbing his arm, just below the biceps. Yet the explanation is simple. You have only to bethink you that Mrs Bosenna, like any other woman, had two hands.
Another "Samson," a German, among other sensational feats, such as breaking coins with his fingers, used to flex his muscles and break a dog-chain that had been fastened round the biceps of his right arm. While he was performing at the Aquarium, in London, he issued a challenge.
They are worn above the biceps, and some are adorned with a tuft of hair cut from a captured head. The movable adornments of the woman are very similar to those of the man. The unmarried woman wears the flowers or green sprigs in the hair, though less often than does the man. She wears the ear stretchers, ear plugs, and earrings exactly as he does.
