The material points in a division are always the stronger, but the sentimental are here very strong. Pass the laws; they may put an extinguisher on the Irish Vesuvian; yet to be loved you must be a little perceptibly admirable.
One Saturday afternoon, she was walking along the crowded streets of the inner town. She had been to the MOTETTE, in the THOMASKIRCHE, and was now on her way home, carrying music from the library. The snow had melted to mud, and sleet was falling. Madeleine had no umbrella; the collar of her cloak was turned up round her ears, and her small felt hat covered her head like an extinguisher.
She flung back the stiff braid, and laid her finger on the extinguisher of the shaded lamp, as a hint for him to go. "Anne," he whispered, "Anne " The whisper struck fear into her. She faced him calmly, coldly; not unkindly. Unkindness would have given him more hope than that pitiless imperturbability. "Have you anything to say to me?" she said. "No." "Well, then, will you be good enough to go?"
"Out of this general outline, which was almost forced upon them, and which they hardly ever tried to avoid, this pyramid or pepper-caster, jelly-bag or extinguisher, the architects of the Middle Ages evolved the most ingenious combinations and varied their designs to infinity. "How mysterious for the most part is the origin of our cathedrals!
He had reared dragons from the egg, in his laboratory, he had watched over them like a mother, and patiently studied them and experimented upon them while they grew. Thus he had found out that fire was the life principle of a dragon; put out the dragon's fires and it could make steam no longer, and must die.

The crowd cheered pa again and he got down off the elephant, took off his fire extinguisher, and handed Bolivar a piece of rag carpet, and said: "Eat it, you old catamaran, or I'll kill you," and Bolivar was so scared of pa he eat the carpet, which shows the power of brain over avoirdupois, pa says.
"For the present I am de trop" he wrote, "but I will see you before you go away. All happiness to Aurora and her chosen husband." Impossibility is a wonderful extinguisher of desire; and what suffering was left to him was not so much a sickness as the languor of convalescence.
Terry sprang up and flew to where a small palm was standing, its garden-pot enclosed in one made of Benares brass. She quickly lifted the palm out of the brass pot, carried the pot across the floor, and turned it downwards, like an extinguisher, on Turly's head. It just took his head in, coming down a little over his eyes. "Now you are perfect!" cried Terry, clapping her hands.
It is all very well. Jones is immortal until he is found out; and then down comes the extinguisher, and the immortal is dead and buried. Brown, who has a higher place than he deserves, cowers before Smith, who has found him out. What is a chorus of critics shouting "Bravo?" a public clapping hands and flinging garlands? Brown knows that Smith has found him out. Puff, trumpets! Wave, banners!
This last was a concession to Jan, who hated the extinguisher. So Meg looked very much like any other girl. A little younger, perhaps, than any young woman of twenty-five has any business to look, but pretty in her queer, compelling way. That she looked even prettier in her uniform Captain Middleton would have been the first to allow; but he hated it nevertheless.
