Yours be the glory to discover by personal experience how long the knee pan can resist the terrible strapping down which you impose—in how short time the well-developed muscles of the throat can be reduced to mere threads by the constant pressure of the stock, how high the heel of the boot must be to make a short man tall and how tight the Russian belt may be drawn and yet have wind enough to sustain life.
