O knihe

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 23: September 15, 1888

One idea possessed Dorky. She must put out. That fire. There was no water on that ¿oor, and even if there had been, she knew that the ¿ame of kerosene oil was not to be put out by water. As she closed the door and turned the key in the lock, she bent and seized a heavy rug that lay at her feet. She ¿ed away through the ante-room towards the entry, snatching a spread from the piano as she passed.

At the door of the passage she stopped an instant, saw a vision of fire, ¿ames mounting to the ceiling, ¿ames filling the narrow, walled-in stairway, smoke everywhere. She heard a wild tumult of roars and shrieks rising from below, where Caesar was stumbling about. The broken lamp had been a large one, the broken bottle had been nearly full of kerosene, and to make matters worse, the ¿oor of the passage and the stairs was oiled wood, and burned like tinder.
