For the hundredth time he made certain that the small brown purse, so unused to its present obesity, was safe and sound in his inside pocket.
Soon after, Harvey Gushing and his associates at Johns Hopkins Hospital discovered that removal of part of the gland was followed by a pronounced obesity and sluggishness. A basis for the understanding of obesity and growth was then established. In the eighties, there came to the clinic of Pierre Marie in Paris, a pupil of the great Charcot, various women complaining of headache.
Behind this wicket sat the portress, a venerable nun, whom age and obesity had consigned to this sedentary occupation. "Benedicite, good Mother Veronique! How are all within the house?" inquired Sister Josephine, going up to the wicket. "The saints be praised, all are well! They are just going in to matins. You come in good time, my sisters!
She is, I quite agree with you, a very attractive person. Now, there is the Duke of Panama already, Lady Adeline says but she seems to have an objection to princes, especially if they are at all obese. I do not like obese people myself.

His chin was a mass of heavy folds distended with fat, and his cheeks were puffed up so that his eyes were preternaturally small. He peered at you from between the swollen lids.
