What is t' use o' hitting them that will only bend and break i' thy hand, and get mebbe t' weight o' t' blow on thy own finger-ends. Go thee home and talk reasonably to thy son. He's gotten a will o' his own that's a way wi' t' Hallams and he'll tak' it. Mak' up thy mind to that." "But children ought to obey their fathers."
He endeavoured to pronounce the name, but could not manage it; and compressing his mouth he held a silent combat with his inward agony, defying, meanwhile, my sympathy with an unflinching, ferocious stare. 'How did she die? he resumed, at last fain, notwithstanding his hardihood, to have a support behind him; for, after the struggle, he trembled, in spite of himself, to his very finger-ends.
But my hands have more than one accomplishment at their finger-ends. Oh, make your mind easy! I shall do no harm, if I do no good. Take me, Selina, to the Minister. "We went to his room. Don't blame me for giving way; I am too fond of Elizabeth to be able to disappoint her. "It was a sad sight when we went in. He was quite happy, playing like a child, at cup-and-ball.

I have honestly divided my money with you; I yet am possessed of forty dollars. Marry me, and take me away out of this wo, and out of this misery! Take me to a place where nobody will know me, where you may not be ashamed of me. I will work for you like a slave, till the blood comes out at my finger-ends. Oh, take me away with you! In a year's time it may be too late.

Our friend must make his prayer to the Graces, for, if they cannot save him, nobody can. One thing John has to begin with, that rare gift to man, a wife with the magic cestus of Venus, not around her waist, but, if such a thing could be, in her finger-ends. All that she touches falls at once into harmony and proportion.
With a last tremendous effort he caught at the floor and held himself suspended by his finger-ends.
