She flung down the match pettishly into the hearth.
An average fire in the grate requires, to keep it burning, as much oxygen as several human beings do; each candle or lamp must have its share of oxygen likewise, and that a very considerable one, and an average gas-burner pray attend to this, you who live in rooms lighted with gas consumes as much oxygen as several candles.

There was a gas-burner in the tiny cell, and by its light he looked round the bare walls of his prison with a blank, hopeless, yet wistful gaze; there was the stool, there was the table, there were the clothes he should never wear again, there was the door through which his lifeless body would soon be carried.
We have no more reverence for the sun than we have for a fish-tail gas-burner; we stare into his face with telescopes as at a ballet-dancer with opera-glasses; we pick his rays to pieces with prisms as if they were so many skeins of colored yarn; we tell him we do not want his company and shut him out like a troublesome vagrant.

If it is possible to love such a phenomenon, she loved that phenomenon. That phenomenon was a portion of her life, dear to her. An agreeable young man, that Peel-Swynnerton!
Oh, do tell us! cried Ella Warden as she now was called capering round her elder sister, who stood beneath a gas-burner, in a well-furnished bed-room, reading a letter, its enclosure clasped within a very trembling hand. 'Mary May, dear Mary, answered Averil, still half absently. 'And who? 'Mr.
