Against that clear sky, with its tender tones, the light in the street-lamp shows not orange or red, but a sparkling white. 'Come nearer and let us see, she said, impatiently. 'Come, by all means. So they went nearer, and the illusion was gone. It was, as he had said, a common street-lamp. 'I am quite disappointed, Helena said, after a moment of silence. 'But why? he asked.
The area they influence is so limited, the souls affected so few, the glimmer of their light, like a street-lamp in a fog, hardly reaches across the street or to the ground. Sometimes it appears only to make the darkness denser and thicker.

The cabman bustled down and opened the door; Miss Macnamara got in first, then Lady Cicely; her eye fell on the cabman's face, which was lighted full by a street-lamp, and it was Christopher Staines!
