'He shall straightway glorify Him. At the instant then, that He said, 'It is finished, and all that the Cross could do to glorify God was done, at that instant there began, with not a pin-point of interval between them, God's glorifying of the Son in Himself. It began in that Paradise into which we know that upon that day He entered.
If not myself, something that was mine, some one at least in my employment, should voyage to that ocean-bounded pin-point, and descend to that deserted cabin. Pinkerton met me at the appointed moment, pinched of lip, and more than usually erect of bearing, like one conscious of great resolves. "Well?" I asked. "Well," said he, "it might be better, and it might be worse.
Either man or wife can bring harmony out of chaos simply by respecting the other half and all his or her acts. A marriage without "even a pinhead of bitterness" is a marriage without a pin-point of fault-finding, mental or oral. "Why is it that, in more than two-thirds of families the wife and mother bears not only the children but the burdens and heartaches?
At night, especially, they had an advantage and would play "Puss-in-the-Corner" until the cutter lost patience, and a flickering pin-point of light stabbed the velvet black of the middle watch, asking permission to fire; one rifle-shot fired high would stop the game, and I made them come alongside and take a wigging for annoying the cutter and turning me out; there was seldom anything wrong about the dhow it was sheer cussedness.

The desire for human companionship came over him, even though it were that of enemy or outcast. He staggered to the door and beat on it feebly.

Wet to the skin long before he reached Mrs. Fyvie's in the auld toon, he was notwithstanding as warm as the under side of a bird's wing.
He wasn't after force in pin-point quantities: he wanted bulk results. Yet I believe that, after all, what he sought was a sort of higher power of radium. The phenomena were related.
