He cleared his throat again, and went on: "Boys, if thar's to be any whippin', ur tarrin' an' featherin' in this case, I'm agin it tooth an' toe-nail. Cap Westerfelt's boy sha'n't have a hair o' his head fetched on sech flimsy evidence as we've had while I'm alive. You kin think what you please o' me. I've got too much faith in the Westerfelt stock to believe that a branch of it 'u'd spy ur sneak.
"Why, you must have got two or three saints' bodies here," exclaimed the captain. "Only a very small portion of one, indeed," answered the priest; "a hair from his beard or a paring from his toe-nail is of value equal to the whole of his leg." "And what are these other packages?" inquired the captain.
Sharp, agonizing pricks, now on the neck now in the chest, now in the most sensitive part of the knee-cap, now under the toe-nail, now most painful of all under the finger-nail continued to torment John Martin, who, though as a rule fairly stoical, could not stand these attacks with any degree of composure.
Kawelu's corpse was taken from the tomb, its shiny wrappings were removed and incantations were performed about it. Then the priest raised a toe-nail, took the soul from the shell and pressed it under the nail, working it upward with both hands. It passed the ankle and knee with difficulty, but was finally pushed into place in the heart.
Farmer Dickson and three neighbours were comparing bottles of Dr. Crip's Celebrated Healing Mixture. "Anyhow," said one, "I'll swear his nibs sold me this ez a cure fer pip in chickens." "And he told me this was a dead sure cure fer corns 'n' ingrowin' toe-nail," ejaculated another. "I bought this bottle fer me diabetes," explained Coleman. "He said it ud root out diabetes in nine hours."
The king's voice was growing flat with consternation. The situation was unprecedented. Sir Pelleas said he had an ingrowing toe-nail. The king's eye rolled in anguish around the table. Suddenly it stopped. It brightened. His look of dismay changed to one of relief. A knight had risen to his feet. It was Agravaine. 'Ah! said the king, drawing a deep breath. Sir Agravaine gulped.
His grandfather, before now, should have withdrawn these men. "Don't ask me to hold my hand!" the old man had shouted at him. "I'm goin' after you tooth an' big toe-nail!" Well, if the old man wanted trouble and range war His blood was rushing swift and hot through his veins; his mind working feverishly. One man alone against the crowd of them, he could do nothing.
After a man has spent ten years writing up weddings, births and deaths, attending old settlers' picnics, family reunions and golden weddings, he may run into a new line of kin that opens a whole avenue of hitherto unexplainable facts to him, showing why certain families line up in the ward primaries, and why certain others are fighting tooth and toe-nail.
The teeth of horses are differently formed from those of the gnawing animals: at the back they are massive, and act like grindstones, crushing the grain which they eat. The Horse-family includes the patient Ass, and the beautifully marked Zebra of South Africa. I need not tell you that all these animals have only one toe, with that hard and strong toe-nail which is called the hoof.
Rouhuot sent a description and drawing of some monstrous nails to the Academie des Sciences de Paris. The largest of these was the left great toe-nail, which, from its extremity to its root, measured 4 3/4 inches; the laminae of which it consisted were placed one over the other, like the tiles on a roof, only reversed.
