As far as I could see, he was a dumpy square-shouldered kind of man, and he held his double glasses to his eyes with his elbows spread very wide out on each side. I was still staring when I heard the catch of a man's breath by my side, and there was Jim with his eyes glowing like two coals, and his face thrust over my shoulder. "That's he, Jock," he whispered. "Yes, that's Boney," said I.
He was a tall, square-shouldered man, who stood in a careless attitude, leaning with his back to the wall; he seemed to have secluded himself from the busy multitudes which moved noisily and gaily around him, and nobody seemed to observe or to converse with him.
He treated himself to a pinch of snuff, and stood up, square-shouldered and broad-chested, in the light of the moon which was now very bright as cool as if he was waiting for a play to begin. He stood quiet, and we all stood quiet, for a matter of something like half-an-hour.
Every afternoon in the ensuing spring, his stout square-shouldered figure might be seen, in military uniform and with sword rattling in its scabbard, accompanied by a single aid, on horseback, trotting through the shaded riding-paths of the Thiergarten, for the sake of health, doubtless, but evidently with no little pleasure.
Makes you look broader-chested and square-shouldered more of the man. But, here, Lieutenant Lacey wants you up at his quarters. Sent that chuckle-headed Joe Todd, his servant, to fetch you directly."

Gene kicked a log back into the flame where it would do the most good. His big, square-shouldered figure stood out sharply against the glow.
Toussaint, a big, square-shouldered man with knotty arms, only showed his fifty years on his round, scorched face, which besides being roughened and wrinkled by labour, bristled with grey hairs, which nowadays he was content to shave off once a week. It was only his right arm that was affected by paralysis, and moved rather sluggishly.
"Tall, flat-backed, square-shouldered, free-moving, and wears a long dress-coat that shibboleth of a gentleman as if that had been his custom since ever he left his mother's knee." Mr. Daly ejaculated "good!" at each clause, and scribbled his impish small scribble on the bit of paper which rested on his palm. "What did he do?" he asked eagerly.
