"I sit here a great deal," she informed him, "and watch the ships, a thumbprint of blue smoke at day and a spark at night, going up and down their water roads. You are enviable getting up your anchor, sailing where you like, safe and free." Her voice took on a passionate intensity that surprised him; it was sick with weariness and longing, with sudden revolt from the pervasive apprehension.

"The book says her husband's good for up to fifteen million, or fifty million in thirty days." "Those coats are only five million," Claire said. "Let her have it; be sure to get her thumbprint, though, and send it up here for comparison." "Oh, Claire; do you know how we're going to handle this new Literate crew, when they get here?" "Yes, here's the TO for Literate service."
"That's your privilege," said Rozan. She half turned, swung a telewriter forward and snapped it into her ComWeb. She glanced out at Trigger's desk. "Your writer's connected, I see. We'll want thumbprint and signature." She slid a form into her telewriter, shifted it twice as Trigger deposited thumbprint and signature and drew it out.

How comes that?" and Tom held out the piece of glass to Wilson. "That is common," said the bored man, wearily. "Scar of a cut or a scratch, usually" and he took the strip of glass indifferently, and raised it toward the lamp.
Above the city hung a smudge, a thumbprint of oily black smoke, carrying the suggestion of an intolerable concentration, a focal point of the fiery discomfort.
