"I won't say I saw them, because I didn't!" replied Christian, who had ceased to struggle, but was as far as ever from submission; "but if I had, you might twist my arm till it was like an old pig's tail and I wouldn't give in!" Possibly John realised the truth of this defiance. He administered a final thump on what he believed to be Christian's biceps, and released her.
M. Joyeuse has taken the omnibus to go to his office. As he takes his seat opposite a species of giant, with brutish face and formidable biceps, M. Joyeuse, an insignificant little creature, with his bag on his knees, draws in his legs to make room for the enormous pillars that support his neighbor's monumental trunk.
From these distances calculate the force with which the biceps contracts in order to support a weight of ten pounds on the palm of the hand. How does exercise benefit the health? How does a short walk "clear the brain" and enable one to study to better advantage? When exercisers taken for its effects upon the health, what conditions should be observed?
Jimmy came over and sat on the arm of her chair, blowing rings of smoke cleverly over her lovely little head. "Put me up to it, mater, there's a good girl. I'm awfully keen on Mr. Leith, as you know. He's got the biggest biceps I ever saw, and I'm jolly sorry for him. What can I do? Put me up to it." And Mrs. Clarke proceeded to put Jimmy up to it.
We, being an old fogy, would so much like to go back to those days to think of daguerreotypes as a stupendous triumph of Science, balloons as indigenous to Cremorne, and table-turning as a nine-days' wonder; in a word, to feel our biceps with satisfaction in an epoch when wheels went slow, folk played tunes, and nobody had appendicitis. But we can't!
"Do you mean to say," said Lawrence, "that I have no weight?" as he felt his large biceps with an expression of pride. This caused "Specs" to laugh, and in response to the numberless questions put to him by the young man, he explained the different mechanisms by which the weight of the ship and its contents was kept at the weight of the amount of air displaced by it.
When a child grows to boyhood, and a boy to manhood under the soul-searing blight of a given name like Florian, one of two things must follow. He will degenerate into a weakling, crushed beneath the inevitable diminutive Flossie; or he will build up painfully, inch by inch, a barrier against the name's corroding action. He will boast of his biceps, flexing them the while.
"So you thought you'd freeze on to that six-shooter of mine until you saw my hand?" She nodded. Then she picked up a broken hazel branch, fitted it into the small of her back, threw her tanned bare arms over the ends of it, and expanded her chest and her biceps at the same moment. This simple action was supposed to convey an impression at once of ease and muscular force.
Besides, I had given him a dollar and ten cents. "Feel my muscle," said my companion, suddenly, flexing his biceps. I did so mechanically. The fellows in gyms are always asking you to do that. His arm was as hard as cast-iron. "Four years ago," said Mack, "I could lick any man in New York outside of the professional ring. Your case and mine is just the same.
I assure you that I individually should be delighted another time to make your acquaintance, since I observe in you a phenomenal development of the muscles, biceps, triceps and deltoid, so that, as a sculptor, I should esteem it a genuine happiness to have you for a model; but on this occasion kindly leave us alone.
