Finally they saw the boy, standing against the sky upon a big rock, waving to them. From Lee's shouts, from his gestures, chiefly from the fact that Judith was there, Burkitt understood and freed Hampton, the two of them coming swiftly down a to Judith and Lee. Hampton's face was hot with the anger which had grown overnight. He came on stiffly, chafing his wrists.
A man's employment, whatever it may be that he feels a need for in his own person, is also divided into four categories: the muscular employment of power, labor of the hands, feet, shoulders, back, hard labor, from which you sweat; the employment of the fingers and wrists, the employment of artisan skill; the employment of the mind and imagination; the employment of intercourse with others.
Rowland half flung himself from the bed, seized Richard by the throat, and with all the strength he could summon did his best to strangle him. For a time Richard allowed him to spend his rage, then removed his grasp as gently as he could, and holding both his wrists in his left hand, rose and stood over him. 'Sir Rowland, he said, 'I am not angry with thee that thou art weak and passionate.
"I say, Bill, I wonder what the mounseers are going to do with us," whispered Jack, as they marched along. "Will they put handcuffs on our wrists and throw us into a dungeon, do you think?"

The man, with the arm which was free, held me close to him, and she bound my hands with a cord behind me. Look!" She held out her wrists. They were terribly bruised. Red and angry lines showed where the cord had cut deeply into her flesh.

Here the older women were singing Boorah songs. Some held their breasts as a sign they had sons among the initiates; others put their hands on their shoulders, which showed they had brothers going to be made young men. All the women had leafy twigs tied round their wrists and ankles as the men had.
To her whispers of affected, half-terrified interest, he responded in whispers that the captive was really in the filly's stall, securely bound by his wrists behind his back, and his feet "hobbled" to a post.
