Not illustrated. 1870 ...says it is too small; that it is not the right sort; that she wonders who's going to trim it, for she isn't, and the servant can't. I explain to her how simple the operation is, with the air of a scientific lecturer. Indeed, I humorously burlesque the style of Professor POLYTECHNIC, but she doesn't seem to see the point. I prepare to illustrate my lecture by experiments. I turn up the wick, and hold a match to it. Immediately there is a loud pop, and a tall and fearful flame shoots up. ROSE ANNA screams. I am a little flustered myself. I twist the machinery in the wrong direction, then twist it back violently. Eventually I turn down the wick, burning my fingers severely in so doing. Instead of the flame there is now a column of black smoke, and smuts fall in every direction as thick as blackberries. I may mention that there is also an odour! Rose Anna, as usual, unreasonable, cries, "Take the horrid thing away!" I try to remonstrate, but she is obstinate. She is all over blacks, and presents a mottled and unnatural appearance. I look at myself in the glass. I am like a half-washed Christy's Minstrel. I put the best face I can on it. I say it will be all right presently, and I twist the machinery up and down, hoping it may. Somehow, at last it is. I have not the remotest notion why, but it is burning properly at last; and even ROSE Anna--who, I must say, is about one of the most wrongheaded women that ever lived--is forced to admit it is a good light. But when she sees her beautiful carpet speckled and spoilt, she scowls through the smoke. To reassure her, I explain to her that the stuff we burn in the lamp, is non-explosive. She says she doesn't care, and she won't stop in the room to be covered with smuts by her husband, who ought to know better....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
