It seems that the hearth was so narrow and the grate so high that coals were a little apt to fall out on to the floor. Once, she said, there had almost been "a flare-up."
Clearer and clearer it had grown that he had to do with a distracted creature who, in a state of shock, had somehow passed under the influence of a man of the unscrupulous revivalist type, and upon whom, in her present mood, all reasoning was thrown away. Gentleness and firmness were the notes for dealing with a flare-up. Well, gentleness had been tried in vain....
He is the sudden brilliant flare-up of the fire before it goes out. Well, now, tell me which end of this stick would you prefer to be? The shining silver handle, or the dull iron other end?"

Highmore asked me if I had heard the news that a verdict of some sort had already been rendered. "What news? about the book?" "About that horrid magazine. They're shockingly upset. He has lost his position he has had a fearful flare-up with Mr. Bousefield." I stood there blank, but not unaware in my blankness of how history repeats itself.
Now, for some little flare-up you come racing here to use Elnora as a tool to spite the other girl. A week of sane living, and you will be sorry and ready to go back to Chicago, or, if you really are man enough to be sure of yourself, she will come to claim you. She has her rights.

Then into the pain and confusion of his clouding mind something flashed with a dazzling streak of light the flare-up of dying memory; and he hurled himself against the leaning tree. And it slowly sank, lying level and uprooted. And in the black bed of the roots lay darkling a little pool of water. The girl's eyes unclosed on his.
A handsome plate of ground glass in one door directs you ‘To the Counting-house;’ another to the ‘Bottle Department; a third to the ‘Wholesale Department;’ a fourth to ‘The Wine Promenade;’ and so forth, until we are in daily expectation of meeting with a ‘Brandy Bell,’ or a ‘Whiskey Entrance.’ Then, ingenuity is exhausted in devising attractive titles for the different descriptions of gin; and the dram-drinking portion of the community as they gaze upon the gigantic black and white announcements, which are only to be equalled in size by the figures beneath them, are left in a state of pleasing hesitation between ‘The Cream of the Valley,’ ‘The Out and Out,’ ‘The No Mistake,’ ‘The Good for Mixing,’ ‘The real Knock-me-down,’ ‘The celebrated Butter Gin,’ ‘The regular Flare-up,’ and a dozen other, equally inviting and wholesome liqueurs.
I came up and stood waiting for her to speak, but she kept pettishly swinging her small feet, as one who, by the action, means to signify displeasure. 'Philippa, I said sternly, 'speak to me. 'Well, here's a gay old flare-up! cried Philippa, leaping from the chimney-piece, and folding her arms fiercely akimbo. 'Who are you? Where's the baby? You a brother; you're a pretty brother!
After an instant he added, with a carelessness as much assumed as natural: "You may ring the bell, and tell Falby to come to my room. And because I am to appear at the flare-up to-night all in honour of the prodigal's son this matter is between us, and we meet as loving relatives. You understand my motives, Gaston Robert Belward?"
