The room was situated at the back of the house, and was almost painfully still, not a sound from the street penetrating to it. The candle burnt low, guttered and went out, but Adolph sat there and did not light another.
At the head of them Alan Macdonald rode, beside an old man whose neck was guttered like a wasted candle and his branching great mustache gray as the dust on his bony shoulders. She halted when she saw them, and they jerked up their horses also, with startled suddenness, like men riding in the expectation of danger and surprise.
In a few minutes his father's carriage must cross the bridge with that hollow sound of wheels which Evasio Mon had mistaken for guns. A breeze was springing up and the candle which Marcos had set on a table near the open window guttered. He blew it out and went out in the darkness.
"No, I can't go on like this," he echoed. Immensely practical, Mary invented a plan of action. Startlingly, in the darkness, the church clock struck three. "You must go to bed at once," she said. "I'd no idea it was so late." Denis clambered down the ladder, cautiously descended the creaking stairs. His room was dark; the candle had long ago guttered to extinction.
She was hoarse, she was tear splotched so that her lips were slippery with them, and while the ague of her passion shook her, Alma, her own face swept white and her voice guttered with restraint, took her mother into the cradle of her arms, and rocked and hushed her there. "Mama, mama, what are you saying? I'm not blaming you, sweetheart. I blame him Dr. Heyman for prescribing it in the beginning.

Donning his hat at its most rakish angle, he wound his cloak around him, holding one end in front as if to conceal his person from the night, of which it was the blackest part, and muttering strangely to himself stole away through the trees. Peter slept on. The light guttered and went out, leaving the tenement in darkness; but still he slept.
She went up with her head whirling, a dry sensation in her throat, a guttered frightened feeling in her breast. Never in her life as yet had she suffered from even momentary fear that she would not get what she had set her heart on. The sensations of the afternoon had been full and poignant, and this gruesome discovery coming on the top of them had really made her head ache.
Jacqueline's candle swayed, until a stream of the melted wax guttered to the floor. "Because " "Yes?" "Because oh, because because I have always known!" Then indeed a silence fell. Jacqueline, too petrified to embellish her statement, let her voice trail off into silence; Max, folding mechanically folding the strands of hair, offered neither disclaimer nor acceptance.
The land beyond that again rolled back in high undulations, over which, in the far distance, we could see a line of cones, red and bare on their tops, guttered down with white streaks, looking for all the world like recent volcanoes; and in the far background, rising higher than all, were the rich grassy hills of Karague and Kishakka.
