"Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way." Before there was a regular demand and an established market, there were certain hawkers and pedlars of literature, fetchers and carriers of bays, and at every turn copies of impromptus, charades, and lines by the honourable Miss C , and the honourable Mrs.
If Alfred had been so disposed, he might, among these fetchers and carriers of bays, have been extolled to the skies; but he had too much sense and prudence to lose the substance for the shadow, to sink a solid character into a drawing-room reputation.
It must be fetched, for fire we must have. It might be only a few score yards away measured by distance, but an hour measured by time "thou art so near and yet so far" sort of thing. Fetchers might get hit at any moment, and had to creep and wriggle very cautiously over open ground all the way.
"Did I not tell you, my meat," he exclaimed, "I would bring you new gods, great spirits from the sun, fetchers of fire from my bright home in the heavens? And have they not come? Are they not here to-day? Have they not brought the precious gift of fresh fire with them?" "Tu-Kila-Kila speaks true," the chiefs echoed, submissively, with bent heads. "Did I not make one of them King of the Rain?"
