I can't answer her arguments she has read ten times as much as I. Her intellect sparkles like diamonds, while mine smoulders like brown paper... She's one too many for me!" "She'll get over it, good-now?" "Never! It is but I won't go into it there are reasons why she never will. At last she calmly and firmly asked if she might leave me and go to him.
But it is only a question of proportion. The ashes belong as much and as necessarily to the methods of the Revolution in that phase, as do the blaze, that first told men of possible light and warmth, and the fire, which yet smoulders with abundant life underneath the gray cinders.
No matter what the fire and force of his passion, it falters eventually, and forever after smoulders or goes out. He has nothing to fall back upon, no substitute; but a woman always has the mother love. When the disillusion comes, when the fairy story ends, if she is blessed with children, she doesn't mind.
I should say it was a better sort of turf: it smoulders just in the same way, and if not disturbed will remain many hours alight; it requires a log of dry wood with it to make a really good blaze.
Some performers prefer a small piece of punk, as it requires no preparation. Still others use tinder made by burning linen rags, as our forefathers used to do. This will not flame, but merely smoulders until the breath blows it into a glow. The tinder is made by charring linen rags, that is, burning them to a crisp, but stopping the combustion before they are reduced to ashes.
One can guess what a fire of passion smoulders within her. My uncle was in perfection that evening.

He addressed her as "querida," in that indulgent tone which is peculiar to him, like a pasha who is signifying his approbation.
"You cut two or three trusses of meadow hay, and store it in a loft before 'the heat is out of the grass, as the peasants say; the hay ferments, but no harm comes of it. You follow up your experiment by storing a couple of thousand trusses in a wooden barn and, of course, the hay smoulders, and the barn blazes up like a lighted match.
Pap Overholt sprang to the hearth where even in the midsummer months a log smoulders throughout the day, to be brightened into a cheery blaze mornings and evenings, seized a brand, one or two of the others following his example, and ran through the doorway, across the little chip-yard, making for the low-browed log barn and the grain-room beside it. None who witnessed that scene ever forgot it.
It was some restless spirit of exploration that smoulders I suppose, in every human heart, that compelled him to leave the few hundred acres of shore and wood that were familiar to him.
The fire which appears to be extinct smoulders under the ashes, to shortly break out with new fury. The thirty-three years of constitutional regime which France had enjoyed, powerfully contributed to the moderation of men's acts, and even their words, at the time of the revolution of 1848.
