"What are you going to do that for?" said Dorothy.
"Why, to see it go out," said Rollo.
"It won't go out, unless you put it away down into the vinegar," said Dorothy.
"Yes it will," said Rollo; "we are only going to dip it down a little way, just into the choke damp, and it will go out."
"It won't go out, child," said Dorothy. "There's nothing to put it out."
"Well, you'll see. Won't it go out, Jonas?"
"I don't know," said Jonas.
"Don't know?" said Rollo. "Why, you told me that choke damp would put out a blaze."
"Yes," said Jonas, "I am sure of that; but there are a great many ways of failing in trying experiments."
"Well," said Rollo, "that may be; but this will not fail, I know, for I can see the little bubbles of choke damp coming up. There are millions of them."
