Once I heard a man telling of a doomful hour in which his fortune won by years of hard work, broke and vanished like a bubble. The dismay he spoke of reminded me of my own that day. My Aunt Deel had told me that the devil used bad words to tempt his victims into a lake of fire where they sizzled and smoked and yelled forever and felt worse, every minute, than one sitting on a hot griddle.
The dim yellow light of the braided muslin burning in a small vessel of oil flickered and sizzled in the awful silent storm which followed my rejection of the Bible.

Over it a pot sizzled with walrus meat frying in fat.
The alcohol sizzled up in a momentary blue flame, without damage save for a very singed head of hair. "Man on fire! Man on fire!" yelled McNally. "Put him out!" The miners rose to the occasion joyously, and "put him out" in the most literal fashion; so that no more was seen of that bully.
The little stove was roaring; it was red-hot, and the chocolate in the tin sizzled and sputtered.
