: What's the meaning "draw yourself to full length"? I read it a book somewhere. Is it to stand up?

The expression I am most familiar with is 'draw one's self up to one's full height' but I assume the meaning is the same: you are right, it means to stand up, but with the added sense of deliberately trying to stand erect and giving the impression (as far as possible) of being taller than one actually is.
