...last month a small young woman whose chest expansion exceeds that of mighty Jack Demp-sey- traveled from city to city in the U. S. Every night but Sunday she performed a strange rite. Entering a small cubicle engaged for her in advance, she closed the door, molded a blob of wax, placed it on the bridge of her flattish nose.

He was born in a slum, educated by existence. Perhaps he is a prison graduate, bitterly "bumped." With slight intelligence but unlimited understanding...
...perfumed bronze body immaculate, especially his teeth, "white as hailstones," which stood far apart from assiduous picking. He eschewed jewelry but put antimony on his eyebrows to sharpen his sight. He let a black wilderness of beard riot down to conceal one thin line of fur on his deep chest, but he clipped his mustache. On special occasions he shaved his poll. Divinely conferred, a large mole adorned his back...
