He turned again in bed, and relit his pipe, shaking off the impression left by the miniature as quickly as possible. What business had George to upset him like that? He was down enough on his luck as it was. He smoked away, gloomily thinking over the conversation. It didn't look like getting any money out of this close-fisted Puritanical son of his. Survey indeed!
He took a pull which half emptied the tumbler, and the spirit made him cough and brought the tears to his eyes; but he felt his numbed limbs again. Pauer had relit the stump of his cigar and taken his old place on the table. 'It's not any part of my usual life-business,'he said, 'to do what I am doing now, but I like odd things, and it is an odd thing that I should meet you here.
Casey stooped in the hole he had made in the gravel, and there, knocking his pipe in his palm, he found the ashes cold. When had that ever happened before? Casey wagged his head. For his pipe to go cold and he not to know! Things were happening on the U. P. R. these days. Casey refilled his pipe, and, with the wind whistling over him, he relit it.
There he calmly relit his candle, and made his way down to the corridor that overlooked the central hall. The sound of suppressed voices speaking with the exhausted pauses that come from spent excitement made him cautious again, and he halted. It was the card party slowly passing from the billiard-room to the hall.
The Colonel stretched out his hand for a match, and relit his cigar. "You believe, then," he said, "that Heneage has succeeded in solving the mystery of Barnes' murder, and is keeping the knowledge to himself?" "That was the conclusion I came to," Wrayson admitted. The Colonel smoked for a moment or two in thoughtful silence. "Well," he said, "it isn't like Heneage.
She ran down lightly, and along the passage leading to the library. As she opened the door, what had been light just before became suddenly darkness, and she heard some one moving about. "Who is that?" said a voice. "Wait a moment." A little fumbling; and then a powerful reading-lamp, standing on a desk heaped with books midway down the large room, was relit.
Snowdon went back to his scat by the window and relit his pipe; to muse in the sunshine seemed sufficient occupation for him. Jane opened another book and read to herself. In the afternoon they went out together. The old man had grown more talkative.
I had always been a lover of books, and in the days when I boarded out among the farmers I used to read aloud to them. After my mother died I built the wagon to suit my own ideas, bought a stock of books from a big second-hand store in Baltimore, and set out. Parnassus just about saved my life I guess." He pushed his faded old cap back on his head and relit his pipe.
Some day, I'm afraid, she'll be singing on the streets, and, if I ever hear her, I shall have a terrible thought that I might have saved her from it, if only I had tried!" "Better let her sort alone," Burton said, shortly. He struck a match and relit his cigarette with a gesture of savage annoyance. Leila looked at him in amazement, and Dick gave him a glance that seemed to counsel silence.
A baby's rattle drops out of his hand, but the baby looks not for it. It has 'gone out' for him, as a candle-flame goes out; and it comes back, when you replace it in his hand, as the flame comes back when relit. The idea of its being a 'thing, whose permanent existence by itself he might interpolate between its successive apparitions has evidently not occurred to him. It is the same with dogs.
