- Untimely darkness has befallen this house, yet let us look on the bright side of things, considering how lucky Mrs. Kingkfall is. For one thing, this usually happens a few weeks earlier, on Christmas morn, just as everybody with glad cries approaches the gift-burdened Christmas tree, and just as a fuse, burdened with yule electricity, decides the devil with so much juice. For another thing, Mrs. K. evidently has a new fuse, whereas it is written in the law of averages that the fuses in her carton should all be dead soldiers, placed there to be chucked out after Christmas, when there is more time. The unlucky person in this situation is Amos Sewell; if that flashlight battery had been dead, he could just have painted a black oblong, an eye-catching cover indeed.
