What knowledge they have of God, or what idol they adore, we have no perfect intelligence. A loathsome thing, either to the beholders or the hearers. They make signs of certain people that wear bright plates of gold in their foreheads and other places of their bodies. The countries on both sides the straits lie very high, with rough stony mountains, and great quantity of snow thereon.
At the head of these unfortunates we must place the bankers, who toil in the acquisition of millions, whose heads are so full of calculations that the figures burst through their skulls and range themselves in columns of addition on their foreheads.
Manhood and womanhood, as such, were not the themes they strove to depict. A curious feature of the artistic taste of the people is the marked fondness for caricature. It revels in absurd accentuations of special features. Children with protruding foreheads; enormously fat little men; grotesque dwarf figures in laughable positions; these are a few common examples.
"Hooray!" cried Phil, twisting the rope about one leg and waving a hand to those below him. They drew a long, relieved sigh. The farmers, one after the other, took off their hats and mopped their foreheads. "Warm, isn't it?" grinned the owner of the silo. "Now, pass up your brush and paste on this rope." Phil had brought a small rope with him for this very purpose.
The arms upon shield and helm confirmed his first fear that these had been Bertrade's escort from Stutevill. As he bent over them to see if he recognized any of the knights, there stared up into his face from the foreheads of the dead men the dreaded sign, NT, scratched there with a dagger's point.

Some of them were wounded, too slightly to be sent away in the ambulance, and wore about their wrists and foreheads bands of bloody linen. When an officer passed with his head bent and a humiliated air, nobody saluted him. These men had suffered too much, and one could divine an angry and insolent despair in their gloomy looks, ready to burst out and tell of their injuries.
Sadly and silently the two brothers draw nearer to the ring until their foreheads are pressed against the railing. A man approaches them and calls into their ears, "Pare, a hundred to ten on the white!" Tarsilo stares at him in a foolish way and responds to Bruno's nudge with a grunt. The starters hold the cocks with skilful delicacy, taking care not to wound themselves.
I think the gifted young detectives must get to work, study the entrances and exits, and tap the bumps on their foreheads until the solution of the mystery dawns on them. Let's go round to the scene of the crime. I wish we could get hold of Tuppence. The Ritz would enjoy the spectacle of the glad reunion." Inquiry at the office revealed the fact that Tuppence had not yet returned.
He was the most modest, the least among them, but there were his comrades they were there, in truth, solemn gentlemen in English frock-coats, with their hair parted in the middle, from their foreheads to the napes of their necks studious young men who had flattered him with the honor of speaking for them and if they had not been more economical, it was because greater economy had been impossible.
