Know how he'll do it?" She remained silent. "It's a trick the Injuns done taught old Jim. They uses it to make people holler when they don't want to. They takes a little sliver of pine, jest a little tiny sliver, ma'am, and they sticks it in under the toe nails where it hurts. Then they lights it. They sticks more of 'em under the finger nails and through the skin here an' there.
"He doesn't see it." "He wouldn't." He bent a sliver of ivory paper knife almost double. "I should have taken this matter up some time ago, but the sudden death of my sister Pauline's husband, Doctor Enlow " "Mrs. Blair understands that." "And you?" "Well," she said, looking off and resolutely keeping her smile, "I guess it means 'The Web' must resume its journey again." "No, it doesn't." "Why?"
"O no, Miss Sliver," said Joshua; "never mind Fanny Brighton she is only one of the blunt sort, saying right to your face what other folks would say behind your back." This explanation from Joshua was rather more favorable than Fanny deserved; for she had not the faithful Christian charity, which, while it unflinchingly speaks truth to those whom it concerns, is careful to speak no evil anywhere.

He ripped a thin sliver of whalebone from the rim of a bird-snare that lay on the sleigh, and, after straightening, set it upright in a little hole in the ice, firming it down with his mitten. It was almost as delicately adjusted as a compass-needle, and now instead of listening they watched.
"I got no kids of my own," he declared. "You're lucky, friend. And you're lucky to have this neat little house." "No, I ain't. They's no luck to it, because I made every sliver of it with my own hands." An idea came to the deputy marshal.
To the apes all large things in nature are male, and so Goro, being the largest creature in the heavens by night, was, to them, a bull. Gunto bit a sliver from a horny finger and recalled the fact that Tarzan had once said that the trees talked to one another, and Gozan recounted having seen the ape-man dancing alone in the moonlight with Sheeta, the panther.
Peter left his obese mother and hurried to the corner, Dawson Bobbs, the constable, had handcuffs on Tump's wrists, and stood with his prisoner amid a crowd of arguing negroes. Bobbs was a big, fleshy, red-faced man, with chilly blue eyes and a little straight slit of a mouth in his wide face. He was laughing and chewing a sliver of toothpick.
"'Must we be kerried to the skies On feathery beds of ease? Though I don' know's I oughter quote a hymn on such a matter; but then I don' know's there's any partic'lar harm in't, neither." Eph sat down on a pile of shavings and chewed a sliver; and the old man kept on at his work. "Hoop-poles goin' up and hoops goin' down," he continued. "Cur'us, ain't it?
McHale laughed, and then swore as a sharp fragment of rock ripped his cheek. "Hit you?" "Nope. Rock sliver. I'll bet their guns is gettin' hot. This won't last." The fusillade ceased. McHale shoved his rifle barrel through a crevice. "Maybe some gent will stick out his head to see how many corpses there is of us. This light's gettin' durn bad.
