"What in all natur' can be the meanin' of this?" exclaimed our Northerner, wofully perplexed. "I cannot tell," replied Henry; "but I am much afraid we shall yet have to stay over Sunday in New Orleans." "The Lord deliver me!" ejaculated Uncle Nathan. "I will go into the swamp back of the city, afore I will look upon the iniquities of that Sodom again."
'Then arise, and flee for your life into the farthest corner of the desert, ere the doom of Sodom and Gomorrha fall upon this accursed city. Have you father, mother, brother, sister, ay, cat, dog, or bird for which you care, within its walls? Philammon started; for he recollected Pelagia.... That evening, so Cyril had promised, twenty trusty monks were to have gone with him to seize her.
"The village," she said in her quiet voice, "the village grows worse and worse every day." "What has happened now?" asked Mr. Bodiham, feeling suddenly very weary. "I'll tell you." She pulled up a brown varnished chair and sat down. In the village of Crome, it seemed, Sodom and Gomorrah had come to a second birth.
I could build a bridge from Sodom to Gomorrah with abutment below. The committee being good and select men were shocked at the strong language, and Brown was called upon to defend his protege.

He did not speak once during their drive, and ate hardly anything at meals. One could easily see how impatiently he waited for evening, when he might go down to the lake and search for the monster a sorry object for a fury such as his! An otter, most likely, or a beaver mayhap an abortion of the Dead Sea, which had survived the ages since the days of Sodom!
Then the angels went away, but one of them, who must have been the Lord Himself in an angel's form, stopped to tell Abraham that He was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, because the people who lived there were so very wicked, and Abraham prayed Him to spare them if even ten good men could be found in them, for he remembered that Lot lived in Sodom. But the Lord never forgets.
'And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him!

Who would not fight when summoned by a tongue of flame? And the red glare on Skiddaw roused the burghers of Carlisle. Roman candles were unknown to the Romans, but they enjoyed themselves with torches, and these were the fireworks at wedding fetes. The golden rain in which Jupiter wooed Danae was another sort of hymeneal fireworks. There were fireworks at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Bashan and the eastern bank of the Jordan were subjugated, the Horites in Mount Seir were smitten, and the invaders then turned back through Kadesh-barnea, overthrowing the Amalekites and the Amorites on their way. Then came the battle in the vale of Siddim, which ended in the defeat of the Canaanites, the death of the kings of Sodom and Gomorrha, and the capture of abundant booty.
