But Allen stood no chance whatever against the young Englishman. Neither in muscle nor in science. He measured his length... in fact, as fast as he could get up he went down again... (M. Twain, ‘The American Claimant’, ch. XIII) — Но Аллену было далеко до молодого англичанина. Он не мог равняться с ним ни силой мускулов, ни умением боксировать. То и дело он распластывался на крыше... вернее, не успевал подняться, как снова валился...

Morgan was there, measuring his length on the ground, and in his fall he had smashed the lamp that Philip had put down not so many minutes before. (B. Priestley, ‘Benighted’, ch.
