bonfire

Before the tar-barrels, of which the bonfire was made, were half burned out, a great crowd had come together.

While these rough figures stood round the blazing bonfire, you might hear them speaking bitter words against the high officers of the province.

Each had made his choice; one, the bonfire; another, the maypole; another, the mystery play.

However, there is a maypole and a bonfire in the town; a mystery, Pope of the Fools, and Flemish ambassadors in the city; and, at the university, nothing!"

"We must have a bonfire this evening in the Champ-Gaillard," went on the other, "made of Master Andry's books."

Behind the guns were their limbers and still farther back picket ropes and artillerymen's bonfires. To the left, not far from the farthest cannon, was a small, newly constructed wattle shed from which came the sound of officers' voices in eager conversation.

On the left our troops were close to a copse, in which smoked the bonfires of our infantry who were felling wood.
