References in classic literature

"But of what value are these imprints," asked Tarzan, "when, after a few years the lines upon the fingers are entirely changed by the wearing out of the old tissue and the growth of new?"

But if imprints have been taken of the thumb and four fingers of both hands one must needs lose all entirely to escape identification."

Tarzan of the Apes

So while they stood laughing at the shattered stone he placed the ring, as if in play, upon the third finger of his left hand.

But the youth had no mind to do that; on the contrary, he went farther off, then put the ring on the little finger of his left hand, and soared into the air like a bird.

Yellow Fairy Book

"I wonder whether it would condescend to alight on such a great clumsy finger as mine?

By the artist's direction, Annie touched her finger's tip to that of her husband; and, after a momentary delay, the butterfly fluttered from one to the other.

Mosses From An Old Manse and other stories

"I get the subject to pass the fingers of his right through his hair, so as to get a little coating of the natural oil on them, and then press the balls of them on the glass.

He passed his fingers through his crop of short hair, and pressed them one at a time on the glass.

Puddnhead Wilson

Presently his fingers ceased their play; his eyes popped wider than ever as they fastened upon the door through which Thurid had disappeared.

Warlord of Mars

The lips moved under her fingers, and she answered, "Yes."

The Sea Wolf

Next came a long, steady, upward pull of the ear, the ear slipping slowly through the fingers to the very tip of it while it tingled exquisitely down to its roots.

Michael Brother of Jerry

To herself she said that of course she should at once undo the absurd work of her niece's fingers, and put her hair up properly again.

Pollyanna

The Golden Road

As Tarzan let the pebbles from the recovered pouch run through his fingers, his thoughts returned to the pile of yellow ingots about which the Arabs and the Abyssinians had waged their relentless battle.

Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar

'She was exercised for several weeks in this way, until her vocabulary became extensive; and then the important step was taken of teaching her how to represent the different letters by the position of her fingers, instead of the cumbrous apparatus of the board and types.
