The ragged knight stole warily to a good position, then he unslung his cylindrical knapsack which was simply the common fire-extinguisher known to modern times and the first chance he got he turned on his hose and shot the dragon square in the center of his cavernous mouth. Out went the fires in an instant, and the dragon curled up and died. This man had brought brains to his aid.
Why, it ran out of those dots I saw it! What is it?" echoed from different parts of the room. "It's only my sprinkler my fire-extinguisher," Hawkins explained. "It went off by accident, you see. There's nothing in it to hurt you. It's perfectly neutral. It can't bite that's imagination." "But it does!" cried Mrs. Gordon. "It stings like acid. It actually seems to be eating my skin!" "Bite!
"Capital!" exclaimed Mr Tippet, laughing heartily, when Willie had concluded; "what an energetic old lady she must be! Really, I must get introduced to her, and show her the self-acting fire-extinguisher I have just invented. You remember it, Willie?" Willie nodded. "I've laid it aside for some time; but it is very nearly complete now. A little more work on it will finish it.
Repeated experiments with it determined me that in searching for a high explosive, Perry had stumbled upon a fire-extinguisher that would have made his fortune for him back in our own world. So now he set himself to work to build a scientific canoe.
"Well!" she exclaimed. "Well, my dear?" said Hawkins, bracing himself. "A pretty mess you've made of our house-warming, haven't you? You and your idiotic fire-extinguisher!" "Madam, my Chemico-Sprinkler System is one " "And not only the evening spoiled, and half our friends so enraged at you that they'll never enter the house again, but do you know what you'll have to pay for?

My wife has an irritated conviction that if the house caught fire while I was in the midst of the process, I would complete it and rinse the soap from my face before I caught up the fire-extinguisher. Had he killed himself, or had Elinor killed him? Was she the sort to sacrifice herself to a violent impulse? Would she choose the hard way, when there was the easy one of the divorce court?
The looks of them would fool anybody, but they were lung-testers, and there that old building was, with twenty-four lung-testers in it, and not one fire-extinguisher. After that fire they passed an ordinance compelling every theater to have four fire-extinguishers." "And do they have them?" asked Skinner.
If you'd listened to me fifteen years ago, Edith, when I told you not to marry that fool " "Griggs! W-w-w-where are you going?" Hawkins called weakly. "Home!" I said decidedly, making for the hall. "I think my wife's ready. And I'm afraid my hair's loosening up, too, where your fire-extinguisher wet it. Good-night!" "It's a good while since you've invented anything, isn't it, Hawkins?"
In the house, Miss Ingate was coming slowly down the stairs, a fire-extinguisher in her arms, like a red baby. She had a sardonic smile, but there was diffidence in it, which showed, perhaps, that it was directed within.
