He knew above all the extraordinary fineness of her flexible waist, the stem of an expanded flower, which gave her a likeness also to some long, loose silk purse, well filled with gold pieces, but having been passed, empty, through a finger-ring that held it together.
At last the time came for him to go: then the men whom he had scored with ropes'-ends in his day were the first to mourn him and to speak with admiration of his educational methods. The skipper of the new school is a sad backslider. He would think it undignified to beat a boy; he wears a black frock coat, keeps novels in his cabin, wears a finger-ring, and tries to look like a ship-broker.
We saw that those who dressed the shabbiest had yet preserved some little article of jewelry a finger-ring, a brooch, a bracelet, showing how the last thing in woman to die is her vanity. Poor, proud souls! Last Sunday many of them were heiresses; now many of them could not pay the expenses of their own funerals. There were some Confederate officers in the house.
On the application of a tiny key, fixed with a joint in a finger-ring, the little steel bolts it had thrown out in every direction returned within the plum, and he drew it from her mouth. 'You little fool! he said, with indescribable sweetness, for he saw the tears in her eyes; 'did you think I would hurt you? 'No, my lord; but I did fear you were going to make game of me.
She said: 'Wilt thou give him this message from me, that in no wise he forget the oath which he swore upon the finger-ring as it lay on the sundial of the Garden of the Face? And say, moreover, that I am sorry that we shall part, and have between us such breadth of wild- wood and mountain-neck.
Again, if a rich province like Asia did not pay tribute in proportion to other provinces, a re-adjustment of its taxes would not seem to the Romans unfair; and perhaps auction at Rome would after all be less mischievous than a hole-and-corner arrangement in the provinces. It is conjectured that he also gave them the distinction of a golden finger-ring and reserved seats at the public spectacles.
'We gave you, they chuckle, 'the loveliest and greatest thing infinity contains. And you bartered it because of a clerkship or a lying maxim or perhaps a finger-ring. I suppose that they must laugh a great deal." "Eh, what? But then you never married?" For masculinity in argument starts with the word it has found distasteful. "Why, no."
For I have seen him bring down a hawk upon the wing, or throwing his finger-ring high into the air, pass his rapier neatly through it as it shot down past him. Another trick of his do I remember, une, deux, trois, and a turn of the wrist in flanconade, which seldom failed to tear my sword from my hand, so quickly and irresistibly did he perform it.

The words of the Lord are uttered against Zedekiah “though Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, King of Judah, were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence.” The transition from such signets to the solid finger-ring was natural and easy. The biblical record treats them as contemporaneous even at that early era.
