'You leave Prince Roland in happy ignorance, said Mrs. Ponsonby, blushing a little. 'Certainly or he would fly off like a sky-rocket at the first symptom of the princess. 'Then I think we need not alter our plans.
We might be shooting a passenger off to the moon now, provided the Man in the Moon would shoot him back," gayly, "if only the master sky-rocket, twelve times as large as this little model you're working on for experiments, were ready. The re-al moon-going Thunder Bird! Oh, dear!" Her little fingers restlessly intertwined.
He bent his head to catch her words, almost drowned by the hissing of a sky-rocket and the popping of firecrackers. She nodded toward the buildings beyond his cabin. "I am with Keok and Nawadlook. They have given me a home." And then swiftly she added, "I don't think you love your people more than I do, Alan Holt!"
"Wait till I give the signal, and then jump out after me as high in the air as you can. Follow me till I tell you to stop." An echoing blow resounded against the tree trunk, which made Knut fly up like a sky-rocket.

The father said curtly "A sky-rocket, my dear Harry." Then he turned to John.
"Very like a sky-rocket; wasn't it?" observed Frank; "and a sky-rocket I've no doubt it was; and as this happens to be the night of the 5th of November, I dare say it proceeds from the very village to which we are bound an important place too, it should seem, from sporting sky-rockets. Ah! there goes another. Huzza! we shall soon be amongst them.
Gorki went up like the sky-rocket, and seems to have had the traditional descent. From 1900 to 1906 everybody was talking about him; since 1906 one scarcely hears mention of his name. He was ridiculously overpraised, but he ought not to be forgotten.
