Then he throws his Lance, and nimbly snatches out his Cresset, with which he hacks and hews the Air like a Mad-man, often shrieking. At last, being almost tired with motion, he flies to the middle of the Ring, where he seems to have his Enemy at his Mercy, and with two or three blows cuts on the Ground as if he was cutting off his Enemy's Head.
There was nothing else visible in the world but the darkness and a dusky tinge of red where a wave caught the flare of light further out. He stood invisible behind the lights of his cabin; and the thud of oars, the voluble noises of the water, and the crackling of the cresset overhead had, too, the quality of impersonal and supernatural phenomena.
At first I could not see the Little Playmate only a rough pallet bed and something white at the head of it. But as the cresset burned up more clearly, and my eyes became accustomed to the bleared and streaky light, I saw Helene, my love, kneeling at her bed's head. I stood still and waited. Was she asleep? Was she was she dead? I almost hoped that she might be.
'May the sensation never quit you! 'It will not. 'What a night! Alvan raised his head: 'A night cast for our first meeting and betrothing! You are near home? 'The third house yonder in the moonlight.

So Jurgen went on down the aisle between the rows of benches wherefrom Thragnar's warriors had glared at Jurgen when he was last in this part of the cave. At the end of the aisle was a wooden door painted white. It was marked, in large black letters, "Office of the Manager Keep Out." So Jurgen opened this door. He entered into a notable place illuminated by six cresset lights.
He whispered: 'I be Throckmorton upon my master's business, and was through and in the darkness of the stairway. Why was there no cresset? Why were there these men? It came into his mind that already the King had heard Culpepper. Already Katharine was arrested. He groaned as he mounted the stairs. For in that case, with those men behind him, he was in a gaol already.
Isoult escaped from the noisy herd round the buttery fire, lit her torch at a cresset, disregarded Melot languishing in a dark corner, and met her lord in mid hall.
