"Now we fear it is quite finished," they sighed. But no, for another two ran up the ladder, and tied some smoke to the chimney. "That certainly finishes it," they cried reluctantly. "Not at all," cried a glow-worm, "if she were to wake without seeing a night-light she might be frightened, so I shall be her night-light." "Wait one moment," said a china merchant, "and I shall make you a saucer."
About a week after its relation, I had my experience of a similar sort. Mary Quince went down-stairs for a night-light, leaving me in bed, a candle burning in the room, and being tired. I fell asleep before her return. When I awoke the candle had been extinguished. But I heard a step softly approaching.
She lit the night-light, and extinguished the candles with one exception, which she removed to a little table, placed on the side of the bed opposite to the side occupied by the arm-chair. Having put her travelling-box of matches and the guide-book near the candle, in case she might be sleepless and might want to read, she blew out the light, and laid her head on the pillow.
Then and nothing else, for how could any one doubt it, on seeing the fresh roses on their cheeks, and the tender flame which flickered like a mystic night-light in their eyes, which had, for the moment, become the eyes of innocent young girls again?
But in the room above that room, there's a little soft light that burns all night, too. That's your room." "No, that's my wife's room." Maggie became thoughtful. "I used to think that was where your little girl sleeps, because of the night-light. Then your room's next it." Maggie desired to know all about the blessed house that contained him. "That's the spare room," he said, laughing.

Peter came in and sat with him in the dark, going over now and then to cover him, or to give him a drink, or to pick up the cage of mice which Jimmy insisted on having beside him and which constantly slipped off on to the floor. After a time Peter lighted the night-light, a bit of wick on a cork floating in a saucer of lard oil, and set it on the bedside table.
"Go ahead," I called out. "Do you want to go aground?" asked the Captain. For answer, I pushed him aside and took the wheel. I had caught the smallest glimmer, like a night-light, floating on the water. "Drop the anchor," I called. The light in shore was clear and near at hand, about one hundred yards away, and there was the big murmur and commotion of the long breakers over the dancing shoals.
The house was dark except for the light in Archie's library at the other end of the terrace and the faint candle gleam of the night-light in the nursery. Adelle liked the black storm. It soothed her troubled mind by its sheer force, passing through her like the will of a stronger being. Adelle was growing, at last, after all these years of imperceptible change, of spiritual stagnation.
On such occasions it was Bill's practice to fool him by repeating his prayers to himself in bed after the official ceremony. Some times, to make certain, he would do this so often that he fell asleep in mid-prayer. He was always glad of the night-light.
