Then knelt he above his mother's grave with hands tight-clasped. "Dear mother in heaven," he sighed, "being an angel, thou dost know all my heart, its hopes and fears thou hast seen me tremble thou dost know wherefore this my heart doth yearn so bitterly. O sweet mother with God, plead thou on my behalf that I may be worthy her love meet to her embracements fit for so great happiness.
These two lovers the youth kneeling in his cloth of silver robe, lifting his long throbbing neck towards the beloved; the lady stooping down towards him, raising him up and kissing him; the mingled cloud of waving hair, the four tight-clasped hands, the four tightly glued lips, the profile hidden by the profile, the passion and the pathos, the eager, wistful faces, nay, the very splendour of brocade robes and jewels, the very sweetness of blooming rose spaliers; all this is suitable to illustrate this group of sonnets or that of the "House of Life;" but it is false, false in efflorescence and luxuriance of passion, splendour and colour of accessory, to the poetry of these early Tuscans.
Now glancing aside upon Sir Fidelis, Beltane beheld him leaning forward with his lips apart and slender hands tight-clasped; whereupon he frowned and shook his head. "A woman!" quoth he, "nay, I had rather fight in a dog's cause." "Forsooth!" cried Roger, "for rogue is he and fool that would champion a vile witch." "Why, then, let us on, lord," growled Walkyn. "Why tarry we here?"
"Pray allow me to be the judge of that." Andre-Louis' manner was almost peremptory. The demand seemed to reduce M. de Kercadiou to despair. He paced the room, his hands tight-clasped behind him, his brow wrinkled. At last he came to stand before his godson. "Can't you take my word for it that these reasons exist?" he cried in anguish. "In such a matter as this a matter that may involve my neck?
The Brother Man was kneeling at the side of the bed praying, and his son was listening, with one hand tight-clasped in his father's, and the tears rolling over his pale face. When the Brother Man had finished his prayer he rose, and stooping over his son he kissed him. Then he turned about and faced Philip and Sarah, who almost felt guilty of intrusion in looking at such a scene.
He would be breasting dreadful peril in the passage of the flames peril to his eyes and face and clinging, tight-clasped hands especially. And round her limbs there was the means of saving him, in part, from it. "You let me down for just a minute," she said briefly. "Just a minute. Then I'll let you take me up an' carry me. An' you can do it, too! You're strong, ain't you?"

While the front half of the body swings up and down, the fore-legs execute magnetic passes on either side of the tight-clasped female, moving with a sort of twirl, so rapidly that the eye can hardly follow them.
There she sat, staring before her; and only her tight-clasped hands, the little movements of her lips and throat, showed the struggle going on in her. "I couldn't, without seeing him; I MUST see him first, Uncle!" John got up and went over to the window; he, too, had been affected by her face. "You realize," he said, "that you risk everything by that.
For there before me, hedged about by wild figures and brandished steel, with slender hands tight-clasped together, with vivid lips apart and eyes wide, I thought to behold at last my beloved Damaris, my Joan, my dear, dear lady; but knowing this false, I laughed and shook my head. "Deluding vision," said I, "blest sight long-hoped and prayed for why plague me now?"
