Uncle Jabe would yank him out at 4.30 G.M. and keep him in the Field until the early Candle-Lighting, so that usually he had two Meals in the Dark. On Sunday he and the Hired Help would sit in the Hay-Mow and read Almanacs. In the Winter he attended a District School and learned to bound Patagonia, but he did not go to any demoralizing Shows nor learn to pick up flip Slang.
What Mat told me last night when we were watching the moon rise?" Eloise asked. "That Rex and Mat are going to be married to-morrow evening at early candle-lighting 'early mosquito-biting, Bev calls it. Rex has loved Mat since the day when he joined our little wagon-train out of a foolish sort of notion that he could protect us children, otherwise his life was useless to him.

John and her were married at our house that night at early candle-lighting; everybody from far and near was there to see it and we all brought them down here afterwards. Mistress Selwyn lighted the fire, and we went away and left them sitting here, jest as John had seen in that vision of his. A strange thing a strange thing! But I've seen a turrible lot of strange things in my time."
It was just at the time of candle-lighting the Baron came in and gave a toast. 'To the dwellers in Eden to-night, he said 'Eden against the time of the Angel and the Sword. I do not think that any except the Cure and the woman understood, and she, maybe, only because a woman feels the truth about a thing, even when her brain does not.
"Dearest," he told her at such a moment it was the moment of candle-lighting, when dusk brings shadows of fear, "why 'heed the rumble of the distant drum'? We love each other, and when my fight is over no one shall part us." And she in the circle of his arms looked up and laughed and they both banished from their hearts all thought of Hamilton Burton.
