Miss Carewe complied at once with the request; while her companion, unable to stop with the slight expression of pleasure demanded by the songster, threw herself upon a sofa and gave way to the mirth that consumed her. Then the candles were relit, the serenaders invited within; Nelson came bearing cake and wine, and the house was made merry.
Jellyband hastily relit the lamp, rekindled a cheerful bit of fire in the great hearth, and then wheeled a comfortable chair by it, into which Marguerite gratefully sank. "Will your ladyship stay the night?" asked pretty Miss Sally, who was already busy laying a snow-white cloth on the table, preparatory to providing a simple supper for her ladyship. "No! not the whole night," replied Marguerite.
Unless some particular festivity was going forward, the inmates of Marheyo’s house retired to their mats rather early in the evening; but not for the night, since after slumbering lightly for awhile, they rose again, relit their tapers, partook of the third and last meal of the day, at which poee-poee alone was eaten, and then, after inhaling a narcotic whiff from a pipe of tobacco, disposed themselves for the great business of the night—sleep.
Then I went to the fireplace, knocked the ashes out of my pipe, refilled it and relit it. When I returned he was reading his book, and with deep relief I took up mine. That much of it was over. But again I found myself watching him. What was in my father's mind? Why this anxious almost humble tone? It made me wince, it made me ashamed.
She relit another half-candle that she had blown out for economy when the talk set in, and called Uncle Mo's attention to the moribund condition of his own: "There's not another end in the house, Mo," said she. So Uncle Mo had to use that one, or get to bed in the dark.
The incident was repeated so many times that I said: "I trust Herr will remember me in the days to come." "Eh?" somewhat startled, I thought. "I observed that you will possibly remember me in the days to come. Or, perhaps I resemble some one you know." "Not in the least," was the haughty retort. I shrugged and relit my pipe.
Her first meeting with him had been only a month ago. One month ago A remembrance flashed through her that brought her from the bed in a barefoot search for matches. When the candle was relit he slipped a chamoisskin pouch from her neck and from it took a sealed envelope.
He scribbled a note on the back of a sales slip and left it at Miss Whippet's post by the stocking counter. It said: MISS WHIPPET: Show Mrs. Sealyham some of the bisque sports hose, Scotch wool, size 9. She's coming to-morrow. Don't let her get size 8 1/2. They shrink. At the door he paused, relit his pipe leisurely, raised his hat to the superintendent, and strolled away.
There was a considerable silence. Mifflin relit his pipe and watched the landscape with a shrewd eye. I held the reins loosely, and Peg ambled along with a steady clop-clop. Parnassus creaked musically, and the mid-afternoon sun lay rich across the road. We passed another farm, but I did not suggest stopping as I felt we ought to push on.
He relit it from the fire with a piece of twisted paper. 'If their wages were really equal in value to the product of their labour, Owen repeated, 'they would be able to buy back not a small part but the Whole.... At this, a remark from Bundy caused a shout of laughter, and when Wantley added point to the joke by making a sound like the discharge of a pistol the merriment increased tenfold.
