At several times during our measuring and bust-making, he had hung around, making smart remarks, but we had never invited him to submit to measure, as he did not seem to be a really full-blood indian.

He had made a nuisance of himself, but, finally, one day, when he was standing in the crowd, which was looking on, he called my attention to a friend of his, remarking that here was a good subject.

On calling this young man to be measured, we met with unexpected resistance.

He was purely indian, short, well-dressed, and well-mannered, but he refused to be measured.

We had had some little trouble with our subjects that afternoon, and therefore insisted that he should undergo the operation.
