The ball had broken his ring-finger and his little finger, and then had glanced along his side, but without penetrating deeply into his chest. It was the pain rather than the seriousness of the wound, therefore, which had overcome De Guiche.
Then he took down an ancient-looking broad-bladed dagger, with a complex aspect about it, as if it had some kind of mechanism connected with it. "Take care!" said the Doctor; "there is a trick to that dagger." He took it and touched a spring. The dagger split suddenly into three blades, as when one separates the forefinger and the ring-finger from the middle one.
Without a word Aramis then raised his hand to the eyes of the commander and showed him the collet of a ring he wore on the ring-finger of his left hand. And while making this sign Aramis, draped in cold and haughty majesty, had the air of an emperor giving his hand to be kissed. The commandant, who for a moment had raised his head, bowed a second time with marks of the most profound respect.
Mott, stealing a glance at the girl's ring-finger, "I understood you were engaged." His niece drew herself up. "Certainly not," she said, with considerable vigour. "I have seen too much of married life. I prefer my freedom. Besides, I don't like men." Mr. Mott said modestly that he didn't wonder at it, and, finding the subject uncongenial, turned the conversation on to worthier subjects.
"Perfect lives are the treasures of God; of great days he wears them on the ring-finger of his heart hand." "Ne-ne-hofra dwelt in a house close by Essouan, yet closer to the first cataract so close, indeed, that the sound of the eternal battle waged there between river and rocks was of the place a part.
All these things were then clearly to be seen, though in the distance. The main hollow of the valley is not remarkable except that it is crossed by enormous trenches and very steeply hedged by a hill on its eastern flank. This eastern hill which has such a steep side is a spur or finger of chalk thrusting southward from Pozières, like the ring-finger of the imagined hand.
He lays those snips and that dirt out on the table and leans over them on his elbows, and puts them together side by side and studies them mumbles to himself, 'Female'; changes them around mumbles, 'Six years old'; changes them this way and that again mumbles: 'Five teeth one a-coming Catholic yarn cotton kip damn that kip. Then he straightens up and gazes toward heaven, and plows his hands through his hair plows and plows, muttering, 'Damn that kip! Then he stands up and frowns, and begins to tally off his clues on his fingers and gets stuck at the ring-finger.
A human jaw, furnished with fine white teeth. A forearm and hand, all the fingers of the latter intact. The flesh was white and fresh, and both the arm and hand preserved a degree of flexibility in the articulations. The ring-finger had suffered a slight abrasion, and the stain of the blood was still visible and unchanged after forty-one years. A left foot, the flesh white and fresh.
"I'm hanged if I see any other explanation," he said. "Do you, Berkeley?" I shook my head. "Don't forget which finger it is that is missing," said Thorndyke. "The third finger on the left hand." "Oh, I see!" said Jervis. "The ring-finger. You mean it may have been removed for the sake of a ring that wouldn't come off." "Yes. It would not be the first instance of the kind.
Then the old goblin said, "Hold fast what you have: this hand is yours; for I will have you for a wife myself." Then the elfin girl said that the stories about the ring-finger and little Peter Playman had not yet been told. "We will hear them in the winter," said the old goblin, "and also about the fir and the birch-trees, and the ghost stories, and of the tingling frost.
