In the other he carried a rude lantern, its wavering light hovering about his feet. As he passed in his long brown cloak, the swaying light encircled his white beard and hair with a fluffy halo. He moved slowly, the spark he carried no larger than a firefly. The sacristan had come to light the candles.
And your light would be a great help to me, for Miss Christabel lives beyond the barnyard fence." For just a few moments Freddy Firefly appeared greatly surprised. To tell the truth, Chirpy's request almost took his breath away. And while he recovered himself he forgot to flash his light a most unusual oversight. But Freddie was no person to disappoint a friend.
I didn't have to WORK, to think of it," Buster explained. And he wondered why everybody laughed. You know, Buster Bumblebee was so lazy that he never would lift a finger to do a stroke of work. And now the word "work" had a very funny sound, coming from his mouth. "How could we get the Firefly family to help us? Have you thought of a way to do that?" Buster's mother said to her son.
"The Latin never forgets nor forgives." Having now reached the fruit stand where Jane had stopped to purchase a large red apple for her horse, the subject of Marian Seaton was dropped. Arrived at the stable the three girls spent a merry session with Firefly, who demanded much petting from them.
If the firefly had gone on shining, Nycteris would have seen the stair turn, and would have gone up to Watho's bedroom; whereas now, feeling straight before her, she came to a latched door, which after a good deal of trying she managed to open and stood in a maze of wondering perplexity, awe, and delight.

He was a pleasant young fellow called Calthorpe, and when he heard that the trip was being made to rescue a lady took a personal interest in the affair. He made up his mind to catch The Red Cross before she reached Bilbao. "Is she a fast boat?" he asked when The Firefly cleared the Channel. "Nearly as fast as this craft," replied Mark Dane, who was at his elbow. "She was built for speed."
"Didn't you say you wanted somebody to tow you down the river?" asked the fellow addressed as Pick. "I did, but " "Well, Cap'n Sculley of the Firefly has taken the job. He'll take you wherever you please, and at your own price. You can't ask for more than that, can you?" "No, but " "I haven't got time to talk, kid with' that other launch coming after us.
With a sigh he laid down; but scarcely had he done so ere the wind began to rage furiously. The lamp, void of oil, was on the point of extinction, only a faint spark like that of a firefly remained. In that dim light a remarkable circumstance occurred. Astonished by the noise of the shutters, Nagendra looked towards the door near the bed.
I was very much afraid that the captain would have ordered me to keep company; but as he considered his vessel quite a match for the brig and schooner if he should fall in with them, and did not want the prize-money to be shared with the crew of the Firefly, he allowed me to go my own way, saying to me, laughingly, as I went over the side, "They will certainly take you if they meet you, and we shall have to recapture you."
