Christine is the flame and Ferdinand the dry tinder, and when they meet the situation becomes combustible.— The Indextrious Reader
"There's a nice soft bit of sand yonder that will just do The middy snorted like an angry animal and began to breathe hard, while Aleck, feeling regularly angry now, felt for the tinder-box and matches, and began to send the sparks flying in showers The tinder was soon glowing, the match well alight, and a fresh candle stuck in its place, the lanthorn being set upon a flat stone, with the door open, after which the two lads slipped off their jackets and rolled up their sleeves Shut the lanthorn door, stupid," cried the middy What for What for?— The Lost Middy Being the Secret of the Smugglers' Gap
"I wonder if the tinder is burnt enough, Alexander," she said; and with the words she sharply struck the flint.— The Bow of Orange Ribbon A Romance of New York
She groped for the tinder-box, found the candle, lit it, held it over him A trickle of blood ran from his right temple, where it had struck against the bed-post.— Hetty Wesley
