Such persons find the greatest difficulty in expressing what they want to say, but they can write better than speak and should be encouraged to do so.
These individuals have, however, not much power over others and the shorter the "little finger" is, the more timid and sensitive they are in the presence of strangers.

If this finger is crooked, then these weaknesses are all the more emphasised, but if formed _crooked and long_ the power of eloquence is also crooked.

Such people will tell any "fairy tale" to suit their purpose--they are natural born liars and the position of President of the Ananias Club is their rightful inheritance.
The first and third fingers absolutely of equal length is the best sign of _an equally balanced mind_, but such a sign is rather rare to find.
When the fingers are very supple in the joints and turn backwards or outwards from the palm, it is an indication of a quick wit and clever brain; but such persons lack continuity of purpose.

They have no "hold," as it were, on any one thing.
Fingers slightly curved inwards towards the palm, denote persons slow to grasp an idea, or a subject, but such people have retentive memories and "hold" or grip, as it were, any one thing they may take up.
CHARACTER SHOWN BY THE THUMB The thumb is in itself more expressive of character than any other member of the hand.

It was D'Arpentigny who wrote "the thumb individualises the man." Medical science has proved that there is such a thing as a "thumb centre" in the brain and any pressure or disease in that part of the brain _shows its effect in the thumb_.
A large well-made thumb is the outward and visible sign of a strong-willed, determined person, be he man or woman.
The longer the thumb, the more the power of will rules the actions; the shorter the thumb, the more brute force and obstinacy sways the nature.
The shorter and more thick-set the nail phalange is, giving the appearance of a club, the more ungovernable is the person in his or her temper.
