Bell p. 166 raising shoulders "powerless" Bell gives a life-like figure
[Expression, p. 270: "Sir C. Bell has given14 a life-like figure of a man, who is shrinking back from some terrible danger, and is on the point of screaming out in abject terror. He is represented with his shoulders lifted up almost to his ears; and this at once declares that there is no thought of resistance.
