"Will the antivenin show in the blood after four, perhaps five days?" "I should say so, Walter. If it does not, by any chance, I will be able to identify the blood, but that is much more involved and tedious a great deal more actual work." "I've got it straight, then. Now " I paced up and down several times. "The finger-nail files should show a trace of the itching salve? Is that correct, Craig?"
How shall I depart when I know that if evil befall thee by the breadth of so much as my littlest finger-nail is that not small? I should be aware of it though I were in paradise. And here, this summer thou mayest die ai, janee, die! and in dying they might call to tend thee a white woman, and she would rob me in the last of thy love! 'But love is not born in a moment or on a death-bed!
"It has money too, eh?" "Has it money? More than enough." "And in what form? In paper?" "In paper, and in property, and industries; in steamship companies, in manufactories...." "I would make an admirable business manager." "Well, your uncle, the Cardinal, could get you put in touch with the Society." "Is he a friend of theirs?" "Close as a finger-nail."
Never had he seen anything like it in the palaces; he believe it was twice the size of the largest possessed by any king or prince. It was as big as his finger-nail, and shone and gleamed in the sunlight, sparkling and reflecting the beams. Its value must be very great. It must be hidden with the greatest care till he could produce it in Thyma Castle, when the Baron would protect it.
"Or perhaps," continued the pilot, quite regardless of Philip's wrath, "it may be a child's caul, a sovereign remedy against drowning." "Go forward to your duty, sir," cried Philip. "Or, as you are a Catholic, the finger-nail of a saint; or, yes, I have it a piece of the holy cross." Philip started.
She remembered the old fort at the south-east end of Lesser Slave Lake, and Waupístagwon, "The White Head," as she called him, namely, Mr. Shaw of the famous finger-nail. Her own Cree name, unmusical for a wonder, was Ochenaskuḿagan "Having passed many Birthdays."
The murdered man was the landlord's slave," and, with a gentle wave of his three-inch finger-nail, he explains how a man may kill his slave, his wife, or his son and the law can do nothing. That is, if he compensates the mandarin. A Nou-su looked upon a girl one day, when he was out collecting tribute. She was handsome, and he instructed his men to take her. She refused.
I suppose the microscopic examination of finger-nail deposits is too minute a thing to appeal to most people. But it has been practically applied in a number of criminal cases in Europe. Ordinary washing and even cleaning doesn't alter microscope findings. In this case this trifling clue is all that leads to the real brain of this plot, literally to the hand that directed it." He paused a moment.
On this a clearer sound was heard, as of a person scratching wood with the finger-nail. Rose darted to the side of the room, pressed against the wall, and at the same time put her other hand against the rim of one of the panels and pushed it laterally; it yielded, and at the opening stood Jacintha in her cloak and bonnet. "Yes," said Jacintha, "under my cloak look!"
I took them home and preserved them carefully, experiencing a novel and keen sense of pleasure in their possession; for though worthless, they were man's handiwork, the only real evidence I had come upon of that vanished people who had been before us; and it was as if those bits of baked clay, with a pattern incised on them by a man's finger-nail, had in them some magical property which enabled me to realize the past, and to see that vacant plain repeopled with long dead and forgotten men.
