He had been a big baby and a big little boy, and now he was a big young man.

He had a big head and big feet, big hands.

His nose and mouth were big, and big freckles dotted his face--yes, and a big heart, as his mother very well knew.

Along with his bigness of limb and body there was a certain awkwardness.

He never could run as fast as the other boys, and he always fumbled the ball in their games though he could beat them swimming.
