- THE COVER
- Amos Sewell’s gentlemen could be saying, “Shall I ignite your cheroot, Lord Cholmondeley?” “Frightfully good of you, old boy.” The lads are light-hearted; and that’s enough punning for a while. That cigarette lighter is called a kerosene bomb; the chain is to carry it with, but don’t toast your fingers; neither rain, nor snow, nor wild, wild wind will extinguish it, so next day it will be smothered with a wad of cloth. Imagination, by straining some, can picture a kerosene bomb as a cute cigarette lighter for the living-room coffee table—how cozy, on a winter evening, to gaze into its flame, as into a dancing flame on the hearth. In summer it could be lighted on the lawn to lure mosquitoes off the patio; or would that fill the air with all the bugs on the block?
