To his idea they were only naughty children, their minds reasoning no more clearly than they saw the streets through the tiny little squares of bottle-glass in the windows of their homes. All at once they came face to face with Detricand. The chevalier stopped short with pleased yet wistful surprise.
Later, when the sunset sky turned lemon-yellow, orange, and deep crimson, the bay went into peacock blues and purples, with here and there a current of bottle-glass green, and Imbros Island stood clear cut against the sunset-colour a violet-black silhouette.
The time varies a good deal with the seasons, and different sorts of glass take different times to melt. This flint-glass melts the easiest, and common bottle-glass takes the longest. Crown-glass, such as is used for window-panes, comes between the two; but that is not made here." "And when the glass is sufficiently boiled, what next?"
After lunch Sir Charles took Mark to see his library, which reminded him of a Rossetti interior and lacked only a beautiful long-necked creature, full-lipped and auburn-haired, to sit by the casement languishing over a cithern or gazing out through bottle-glass lights at a forlorn and foreshortened landscape of faerie land.
As it was, supposing they had to deal only with the old lady and her two servants, they began their work between twelve and one that night, with considerable confidence, and in great hopes of a rich booty. A small garden surrounded the old house. It was guarded by a wall about eight feet high, the top of which bristled with bottle-glass.

A dresser loaded with flowered crockery occupied the space in the middle of the wall; and the window-panes with their green bottle-glass threw over the tin and copper utensils a sickly lustre. The two Parisians wished to inspect the property, which they had seen only once and that a mere passing glance. Maître Gouy and his wife escorted them, and then began a litany of complaints.
Christobal would have aired such a scrap of interesting knowledge at the foot of the scaffold, and expected the executioner to listen attentively. "They are called the Alaculof. They use bows and arrows, with heads chipped out of stone or bottle-glass," put in Tollemache.

At that moment more water came into the gutter; it streamed over the edges and washed the bit of bottle-glass away. 'Ah! now he has been promoted! said the Darning-needle. 'I remain here; I am too fine. But that is my pride, which is a sign of respectability! And she sat there very proudly, thinking lofty thoughts. 'I really believe I must have been born a sunbeam, I am so fine!
