  • Narrator : Armed against any vicious intruder whose lusts for the great gem might prompt an attack, the family, their hearts filled with fear, sat through the long hours of the night. The diamond, a fortune in an old stocking, clutched to her bosom by Jonker's wife.

  • Narrator : On determining the cleavage directions, they're indicated on sketches.

  • Narrator : Now the time for the important event is at hand. The line of cleavage is marked with India ink.
