Candles were made in the big house by the cook and a batch of slaves from the quarters, all of them being required to bring fat and tallow that had been saved for this purpose. These candles were for the use of the master and mistress, as the slaves used fat lightwood torches for lighting purposes.
Be a British sportsman and enjoy the pleasures of the chase. It will do you good. Lightwood hesitated; but, yielding to his curiosity, rose. 'Bravo! cried Eugene, rising too. 'Or, if Yoicks would be in better keeping, consider that I said Yoicks. Look to your feet, Mortimer, for we shall try your boots.
You didn't tell me the other name in your garden atop of the house. I'll be more communicative with you. The other name's Hexam. Riah bent his head in assent. 'Look here, you sir, said Fledgeby. 'I have a notion I know something of the inveigling chap, the powerful one. Has he anything to do with the law? 'Nominally, I believe it his calling. 'I thought so. Name anything like Lightwood?
'He certainly has not said that he had no more to tell, Eugene observed in a low voice without looking at him, 'whatever he seemed to imply. 'Hah! cried the informer, triumphantly perceiving that the remark was generally in his favour, though apparently not closely understanding it. 'Fort'nate for me I had a witness!

Outsiders cultivate Veneering, M P., and Mrs Veneering, W.M.P. Lammle stands with folded arms, Mephistophelean in a corner, with Georgiana and Fledgeby.
And now, in this night-watch, mingling with the flow of the river and with the rush of the train, came the questions into Bella's mind again: What could be in the depths of that mystery of John's? Why was it that he had never been seen by Mr Lightwood, whom he still avoided?
The arm-pieces are of lightwood with cobra snakes carved upon the flat in low relief, each snake covered with hundreds of small silver annulets, to represent the markings of the reptile. This chair, dated by a fragment of a royal cartouche, belonged to Queen Hatshepsût, of the Eighteenth Dynasty. It is now in the British Museum.
'As it is you who have heard it, returns Lightwood, 'perhaps you'll tell us. 'Monster, away! retorts Lady Tippins. 'Your own Golden Dustman referred me to you. Mr Lammle, striking in here, proclaims aloud that there is a sequel to the story of the man from somewhere. Silence ensues upon the proclamation.
Charmian's eyes lightened. "Wait a moment!" She got a piece of the lightwood, and put it on the fire which she had kindled on the hearth to keep the spring chill off, and went and turned Ludlow's sketch of herself to the wall. "I know it's about him."
