"Look! look! Massa Nadgel, he's twitchin' all ober. De tiger's comin' to him now." "Looks like it, Moses." "Yes an', see, he grip de 'volver no, too soon, or de tiger's hoed away, for he's stopped twitchin'! dare; de tiger comes agin!" A gasp and clenching of the right hand seemed to warrant this assumption.
"I allus sez, in my clenching way, that I doan't care a farden damn what happens to my bones, if my everlasting future be well thought on by passon. So long as I catch the eye of un an' see um beam 'pon me to church now an' again, I'm content with things as they are."
Always like this? Oh, God help me! My heart is broken." He thought she was going to cry, but she did not. She only clasped her hands hard together and drew in her lower lip, clenching it in her teeth. "Perhaps I ought not to speak like this," she said. "I don't know whether it is very wrong or not. But it is so long since any one was kind to me or seemed to care."
She was in the arms of a Gorgio of Lebanon Ingolby is his name." A malediction burst from Gabriel Druse's lips, words sharp and terrible in their intensity. For the first time since they had met the young man blanched. The savage was alive in the giant. "Speak. Tell all," Druse said, with hands clenching.
The happiness that Mikolai had felt during the summer was a thing of the past. Although a farm of one's own is not to be despised, he would much rather be servant somewhere else than master at Starydwór. How awful his father was! Why, he was out of his mind!

"No!" says I again and clenching my hands. "No never!" "Why, true," says she, more softly, "methinks in your heart is no room for poor Love, 'tis over-full of Hate, and hate is a disease incurable with you. Is't not so, Martin?" "Yes no! Nay, how should I know?" quoth I. "Yet should love befall you upon a day, 'twould be love unworthy any good woman, Martin!"
But Laramie knew too well the marks of an agony such as that the clenching, the loosing of the hands, the last turn, the relaxing quiver. He had seen too many stricken animals die. Limp and bleeding, overcome with the horror of what he had not been able to avert, he walked back to his starting point and sat down on the edge of the sidewalk.
Our hero's equipage being detained close by the field of this contention, Pipes could not bear to see the laws of boxing so scandalously transgressed, and, leaping from his station, pulled the offender from his antagonist, whom he raised up, and in the English language encouraged to a second essay, instructing him at the same time by clenching his fists according to art, and putting himself in a proper attitude.
