The tahuna who had done the work seemed to have drawn outlines and then blocked in the half of his torso. But remembering that every pin-point of color had meant the thrust of a bone needle propelled by the blow of a mallet, I realized that Kahauiti had endured much for his decorations. No iron or Victoria Cross could cost more suffering.
He lifted his whip-handle toward a pin-point of light across the stretch of snow. "Donovan lives over there and Mis' Donovan. We call them 'old folks' now; their hair has turned white as these drifts in two years. All they've got is here. He's a real farmer and a lot of help to the country, but they won't last long like this." Dan swung his arm toward a glimmer nor' by nor'east.
"Not yet, nor soon." The editor smiled broadly, and Paul realized that the humor in those pin-point eyes was rather cruel. Five other calls he made that day, to be greeted gruffly in every instance except one. One man encouraged him slightly by saying: "Come back next week; I may have an opening then."
The prospect of freedom or the worst had withdrawn so far that there was not even a pin-point of daylight in the gloom. Alice had not shown her face. If she had come at all, she had withheld herself from his hungry eyes. His heart was as bleak that night as the mind of the densest juryman agreed upon between Hammer and the attorney for the state.
Some of the islands of this group are of volcanic origin, and some are crystal; but by far the greater number are of coral formation the work of those curious little insects, which are so small that they inhabit a dwelling sometimes little larger than a pin-point. The manner in which these islands are made is, to some extent, a matter of uncertainty.
There are expressions and single words in Scripture which reveal a whole heaven of glory like the opening in the telescope, which, though but as a pin-point of light, reveals the glory of sun, moon, and stars. What a revelation of love is this "Jesus wept!" But what mean these tears? They are visibly significant of much sorrow.
You affirm that had I been capable of looking at you with a more perfect detachment and a greater simplicity, I might have perceived better the inward marvellousness which, you insist, attended your career upon that tiny pin-point of light, hardly visible far, far below us, where both our graves lie. No doubt!
Here's that little mis'able Jimmy Pettijohn " "Little, Susanna?" "Yes, little. Always was an' always will be. His outside has growed big enough in all conscience, but his inside has stayed the size of a pin-point, same as it was born.
What strange eyes the man had, full of lines radiating from the pin-point pupils, scintillating like a snake's.... He said, in his thick, lisping way: "A beauty, eh? And how long might the nuns have had her?" "The Mayor's wife told me she has been under the care of the Convent ladies for some seven years." His brown full face looked solid, and his eyes veiled themselves behind a glassy film.
It looked like a pond a few hundred feet down. Then we made out a pin-point of white moving leisurely near its border. After a while we realized that the pin-point of white was one of our pack-horses, and immediately the flat little scene shot backwards as though moved from behind and acknowledged its due number of miles.
