Lecount left him for the night, foiled, and knowing she was foiled left him, with the tigerish side of her uppermost, and a low-lived longing in her elegant finger-nails to set them in her master's face. She was not a woman to be beaten by one defeat or by a hundred.
Arthur started and said, 'Dear me, Pancks, don't say that! 'Understand me, said Pancks, extending five cropped coaly finger-nails on Arthur's arm; 'I don't mean, cut his throat. But by all that's precious, if he goes too far, I'll cut his hair!
It was a happy thought; visions of Venice; the moonlit lagoon; the reflected lamps plunging their tongues of flame into the sea; the humid air, the almost breathless silence, broken at intervals by the baying of deep-mouthed bells; the splash of oars; the soft tripping measure of human voices and the refrain of the gondoliers; Jack by his side Jack now in her element, with the maroon fez of the distinguished howadji tilted upon the back of her handsome head, her shapely finger-nails stained with henna, her wrists weighed down with their scores of tinkling bangles!

It requires a vast deal of refinement to spiritualize their large physical endowments.
To add to the trouble Evans has dislodged two finger-nails to-night; his hands are really bad, and to my surprise he shows signs of losing heart over it.
