Among all those men and women who take the "easiest way" a large majority will be found to have very supple-jointed thumbs.

This, however, will be greatly qualified by the position and appearance of the Line of Head, the indicator of the developed mental Will.
To have a supple lower or middle joint does not relate to the Will but to the phalange of Logic of the possessor.

When this second joint is found supple the subject adapts himself to circumstances rather than to persons.

He reasons out that he must bend or adapt himself to the conditions or circumstances of the life in which he is placed.
The Clubbed Thumb (Fig.

1, Plate III.), is so called from its being thick like a club.
