But eventually it was not really long there came the quick rush of Mrs. Hallam's feet along the upper hall, and the woman reappeared, one hand holding her skirts clear of her pretty feet as she descended in a rush that caused the candle's flame to flicker perilously. Half-way down, "Mr. Kirkwood!" she called tempestuously. "Didn't you find it?" he countered blandly.
Saffron is dead." "I've told him," said Beaumaroy. "Of heart disease," Mary added. "Quite painlessly, I think and quite a normal case, though, of course, it's distressing." "I I'm sorry," stammered Captain Alec. Beaumaroy's eyes met Mary's in the candle's light with a swift glance of surprise and inquiry.
Resuming his former station back of the line he had drawn in the dusty road he permitted his eye to gauge the distance afresh, then his hand was seen to pass deftly to his left hip pocket, the long barrel of the rifle pistol was leveled, the piece cracked, and the candle's yellow flame vanished.
We can measure portions of power, as we can measure portions of space; while yet, as far as we know, space may be infinite, and force infinite. There may be heat as much greater than the sun's, as the sun's heat is greater than a candle's: and force as much greater than the force by which the world swings, as that is greater than the force by which a cobweb trembles.
For many, the stage was the port of refuge to which they fled from the lonely habitations of erudition, where they ... sit now immur'd within their private cells, Drinking a long lank watching candle's smoke, Spending the marrow of their flow'ring age In fruitless poring on some worm-eat leaf. Many of these beggar students sought a livelihood by joining the players.
Again, though it may seem to some a riddle, We use to light our candles at the middle. True light doth at the candle's end appear, And grace the heart first reaches by the ear. But 'tis the wick the fire doth kindle on, As 'tis the heart that grace first works upon. Thus both do fasten upon what's the main, And so their life and vigour do maintain.
My father drew the water from a well three furlongs deep, and skinned his hands and broke his back a-pulling at the rope, and methods that my father used will do for me, I hope! Don't talk of your electric light; a candle's all I need; my father always went to bed when 'twas too dark to read; I want no books or magazines to clutter up my shack; my father never read a thing but Johnson's almanac.
Unmindful of the bullets pattering around him, the young officer walked composedly along the provincial line, from which came no answering shot. Seemingly he was telling the men to wait. Suddenly, as before, the screen of hay became a sheet of flame, and the scarlet ranks again dissolved like a straw in a candle's flame, whole ranks reeling and falling, or fleeing to the place of landing. Mr.
Back of my pillow was, tightly closed, in three sections, a narrow firing-slit. Beside the bed the candle's glow played over the carved back of the leather-seated chair. Above the closed slit ran a shelf, and ranged upon it were some fifty cartridges and an old-fashioned fat opera-glass. This, then, was Monsieur le Curé's duck-blind, or rather, in French, his gabion.
On this occasion, the messenger of the court came at midnight to summon an extraordinary session for the next morning; and, as the light in his lantern was about to expire, he asked for a candle's end to help him on his way. "Give him a whole one," said my grandfather to the ladies: "he takes the trouble all on my account."
