Say: "There is no doubt whatever!"
[Illustration]
As will be noticed, the head moves in the opposite direction from the
arms. The face must express what the words say. The movements of the
arms alone, without the expression of the face, do not mean anything.
Lesson V.
Inflections of the Hand.--Combinations of the Arm and Hand.
1. _Acceptance_. Put the arm out naturally, palm upward.
2. _Caress_. Raise the shoulder; bend the head, keep the elbow close to
the side; raise the hand as high as the face and, with palm outward,
bring it slowly down again as if stroking an object, at the same time
raising the head.
3. _Negation_. Draw a horizontal line in the air, the movement finishing
in an outward direction.
4. _Self-control_. Arm hanging at the side, hand in the concentro-normal
condition, denoting authority, power over one's self.
5. _Authority_. Extend the arm and raise it in front a little higher
than the level of the shoulder; then raise the hand, which should be in
the concentro-normal state, from the wrist and let it fall again with
decision.
6. _Menace_. The arm is kept in the same position, the fist clenched
(hand concentro-concentric).
7. _Execration_. Arm extended from the previous position sideward; hand
excentro-concentric, palm toward the back; head turned in opposite
direction,
8. _Horror_. Arm outstretched in front; hand excentric, palm outward;
head thrown back.
