Riches and honours shown by overthwart lines clear and red underneath
the nail and joint of the thumb.
A violent death or danger through a married woman, etc.: a line passing
from the upper joint of the thumb to the line of Life.
A contentious nature: confused lines on the lower joint of the thumb;
one always brawling and scolding.
Death by hanging, etc.: a line surrounding the thumb at the middle
joint.
Riches and possessions—to be worked for: equal furrows under the lower
joint.
Idleness and lack of energy: if the first and second joints are void of
incisures.
