Excerpt from Bleak House, Vol. 3 of 4
Thus, night pursues its leaden course; finding the court still out of bed through the unwonted hours, still treating and being treated, still conducting itself similarly to a court that has had a little money left it unexpectedly. Thus, night at length with slow retreating steps departs, and the lamplighter going his rounds, like an executioner to a despotic king strikes off the little heads of fire that have aspired to lessen the darkness. Thus, the day cometh, whether or no.
