Answer 1

The meaning of the word 'sinewy', in this context, is strong, muscular.

In Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, Joseph is an elderly servant. He has been working at Wuthering Heights and serving its residents for decades.

In this excerpt, Bronte implies that although he was old, Joseph was "hale and sinewy." Word hale means "strong and healthy", while the adjective sinewy indicates that he was fit for his age.

Answer 2

My great grandfather worked in the coal mines as a child. At the time, he was sinewy and though he was small, he was very strong. There was very little repose. He said the workers had very little time to rest, and they were worked to the bone day in and day out. He showed me the scars he still possessed from those days, and with very little rest in that time, he could never really outgrew his lean figure. Would he have been brawny and strong like the men of today if he had rested from work? I could not imagine my great grandfather being anywhere near muscular even if he was young.
