"No, not at all, only very uncomfortable" and then I explained the situation to him that my dress was so tight I could neither move nor eat. He was most indignant "How could women be so foolish why did we want to have abnormally small waists and be slaves to our dressmakers? men didn't like made-up figures." "Oh, yes, they do; all men admire a slight, graceful figure."
An athletic circus-rider of mature years, with abnormally developed muscles, might have posed as model for this female votary of Dionysus. Before he made this drawing, Michelangelo had not seen those frescoes of the dancing Bacchantes from Pompeii; nor had he perhaps seen the Maenads on Greek bas-reliefs tossing wild tresses backwards, swaying virginal lithe bodies to the music of the tambourine.
His objective senses were abnormally clear, cold: he saw every detail of the Hatburns' garb the soiled shirts with buttoned pockets on their left breasts; the stained baggy breeches in heavy boots such boots as had stamped Allen into nothingness; dull yellow faces and beady eyes; the long black hair about their dark ears.
For Beth was by nature well-balanced; there was to be no atrophy of one side of her being in order that the other might be abnormally developed. Her chest was not to be flattened because her skull bulged with the big brain beneath. Rather the contrary. For mind and body acted and reacted on each other favourably, in so far as the conditions of her life were favourable.
Two! three! it went solemnly on, the mellow cadence scarcely dying before another stroke renewed it. The sexton was Simeon Pease, a little red-headed man, a hunchback, abnormally strong. Suddenly he rose in amazement. His face looked ashen. "Suthin's tollin' the bell!" he gasped. "The bell's a-tollin' an' I ain't there!" A new element of mystery and terror sprang to life.
Woman's partial emancipation in some instances has, no doubt, "gone to her head," as it were, and we see many women confounding license with liberty; mistaking passion for Love; and exchanging restraint for debauchery. The average woman is either almost entirely lacking in sex desire or she is abnormally active in that function.
Knowing her history as we do, we can easily see how she had become abnormally acute in her responses to the discomforts which are always associated with painful emotions, and that emotional distress was interpreted, or misinterpreted, as physical disorder.
"Susan Betts, you haven't!" gasped the scandalized woman on the other side of the fence. "Haven't I? Listen," challenged Susan Betts, striking an attitude. Her face was abnormally grave, though her eyes were merry.
The center of upper sympathy is abnormally, inflamedly excited; and the centers of will are so deranged that they operate in jerks and spasms. The true polarity of the sympathetic-voluntary system within the child is so disturbed as to be almost deranged.
What are those clothes?" Her wits! Perhaps he did not know as much as she was afraid he did! She seemed to have become abnormally contained, her mind abnormally acute and active.
