In Typhoid Mary by SHIRLEY GEE
' Look at my hands. Are they any different from yours? Eight fingers, two thumbs. No strange marks on the backs of my hands, no devil's kiss, none on the palms. No spreadingstains-see-little crosses - they mean something. I can't remember what. Lines of my heart, my head, my luck, my life - quite long, my life. And here's my destiny. Fate has something up her sleeve for all of us, but she's a very special trick for me.'
