«Oh, no — no. Ordinary skin, I think — with dark hairs on it — yes, that was it.»
«Yes. A lean, stringy arm, perhaps, with no extra fat anywhere?»
«Oh, no — I was rather annoyed about that. I wanted a good, muscular arm, but it was rather poorly developed and the fat got in my way.»
«Yes; a sedentary man who didn't do much manual work.»
«That's right.»
«Yes. You dissected the hand, for instance, and made a drawing of it. You would have noticed any hard calluses.»
«Oh, there was nothing of that sort.»
«No. But should you say it was a young man's arm? Firm young flesh and limber joints?»
«No-no.»
«No. Old and stringy, perhaps.»
