"'Tain't mine," he said, glancing at the pipe, which Kiddie had pushed along the table. Rube Carter took hold of it and began to clear the stale tobacco out of the bowl with the point of his pocket knife. Kiddie watched Abe Harum striking a match. It was a safety, with a brown head. "What sort of lucifers are yours, Isa?" Kiddie inquired.
An' I guess there's hundreds an' hundreds of 'em. Ain't that what Canada's forests are for? To feed us the stuff we're needin'? But you don't need to worry any. We ain't cuttin' that stuff for years. Guess the waterways out there are mostly a mean outfit that wouldn't raft a bunch of lucifers. We need to wait permanent railroad for haulage." Nancy accepted the statement without reply.
If darkness came on in the course of the service, Richard Moxhay, glimmering in his cream-white corduroys, used to go slowly around, lighting groups of tallow candles by the help of a box of lucifers. Mary Flaw always assumed the place of honour, on the left extremity of the front bench, immediately opposite my Father.
My brother John had got 6d. from a visiting, uncle as a reward for buying him snuff to fill his cousin's silver snuffbox, and he spent the money in buying a box of lucifers, with the piece of sandpaper doubled, through which each match was to be smartly drawn, and he took all of us and some of his friends to the orchard, we called the wilderness, at the back of my grandfather Spence's house, and lighted each of the 50 matches, and we considered it a great exhibition.
There was a sound in the room, as of a boy, suddenly aroused, starting up in his bed. Our blood turned cold, and we remained motionless, hardly daring to breathe, straining our ears in the darkness. Suddenly the boy, whoever he was, sprang from his bed, and seizing the lucifers, struck a light. It was Hawkesbury! I had almost guessed it.
"Oh, he begun where most of them ends if they get so far at all: axed me was I comfortable here; if not, he knew a young man wanted a nice tidy body to keep house for him." Peggy pricked up her ears; and, in less than a quarter of an hour, went for a box of lucifers in a new bonnet and clean collar.
Well Sir Miles asked us to dine with him and Tom was safe and I am to have him and educate him if I like for my servant and I will. And I will give money to his mother and make her rich and he shall never repent he knew me. I say Rip. The Bantam must have seen me. It was when I went to stick in the lucifers.
Solon ran alongside us and licked the doctor's hand, and seemed highly delighted at having been the means of saving him; and I believe that the doctor was very grateful to him for what he had done. We soon had a fire lighted. I had a box of lucifers, and also a burning-glass.
The old woman was weak, I tell you; and for me, I felt considerably used up howsomever I got to the shore, and hewed out a canoe from one of our own timber sticks there was no need of lucifers to strike a light lots of brands were burning about. I laid some on to it and burnt it out, and soon had a capital craft, and away we went down the stream.
Young Richard had quitted his cousin Austin fully resolved to do his penance and drink the bitter cup; and he had drunk it; drained many cups to the dregs; and it was to no purpose. Still they floated before him, brimmed, trebly bitter. Away from Austin's influence, he was almost the same boy who had slipped the guinea into Tom Bakewell's hand, and the lucifers into Farmer Blaize's rick.
