"Now a nail and a piece of pine board." "Here they are, sir." "Will you drive the nail into the board?" It was done. "Please pull it out again." "That's easy, sir." "Now, John," and the father's voice dropped to a lower key, "pull out the nail hole." Every wrong act leaves a scar. Even if the board be a living tree the scar remains. For our worst sins there is plenteous redemption.
At first the course of the Maha-velle-Ganga is closely followed, the river being crossed at Peradenia by a somewhat remarkable bridge, consisting of a single arch or span of a little over two hundred feet, built of satinwood, with stout brick and stone abutments. The bridge was erected in 1832, without the aid of a single nail or bolt, and is apparently in perfect condition to-day.
But Andy, neither of us said anything when Larry told about that hobo aviator named Casper Blue; yet he answered the description the bank watchman gave of the smaller man who had a stiff arm." "Oh, I noticed that, all right, even if I didn't look your way," returned Andy, promptly. "It sort of clinched the nail we drove through didn't it, Frank?"

Armed with a revolver Mullholland has taken up his position in the street, where he awaits the coming of his adversaries.
"Put your finger into the nail holes in my hand, and doubt no more, but believe in me!" Thomas fell down on his knees. He cried out, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him: "You believe in me because you have seen me with your own eyes. It is still better when people believe even though they have not seen me." After this the disciples saw Jesus many times and at many places.

He went for the flames tooth and nail, smothered them with his coat, regardless of consequences, after he had slipped that article of wearing apparel off; kicked and tore and fought until it became evident that between them they were certainly making a decided impression on the threatening conflagration. All this while it seemed to Frank that his heart was in his throat.
The earthen plates covered with hieroglyphics still lay beside the mummy, and round it, carefully arranged at the points of the compass, stood the four jars with the heads of the hawk, the jackal, the cynocephalus, and man, the jars in which were placed the hair, the nail parings, the heart, and other special portions of the body.
